'In a viral TikTok video, a registered dietitian named Danielle Allen shares what she claims is the origin story of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Guide Pyramid. In the video, she says the USDA’s first visual food guide was released as a result of rationing and food shortages during World War II. Since the video was first shared on Aug. 24, it has garnered over 250,000 views.   The VERIFY team asked nutrition experts to weigh in on the origin story of the food pyramid and other USDA food guides.

In 1894, the first dietary guidance published by the USDA was a farmers’ bulletin written by Wilbur Olin Atwater, who served as the agency’s first director of the Office of Experiment Stations. Atwater suggested diets for American men based on protein, carbohydrates, fats, and “mineral matter” because, according to the USDA, specific minerals and vitamins had not been identified at that time.
