The dietary guidelines as well as the organizations that establish the recommendations are not homogeneous across regions of the world. Each country utilizes specific icons to better describe to the public easy ways to follow specific recommendations, including the use of pyramids, plates, and other forms of presenting key information. All dietary guidelines are updated within certain periods to ensure that new findings or specific changes are communicated to the public. The purpose of this commentary is to describe the most updated information as well as some history on how these symbols are utilized in different countries or areas of the world. The updated Mediterranean pyramid as well as MyPlate and the Pyramids utilized in South Africa, Japan, and Argentina are discussed in this commentary.
膳食指南以及制定建议的组织在世界各个地区并不统一。每个国家都使用特定的图标来向公众更清楚地描述遵循特定建议的简单方法，包括使用金字塔、盘子和其他形式来呈现关键信息。所有膳食指南都会在一定时期内更新，以确保向公众传达新的发现或特定的变化。本评论的目的是描述最新的信息以及这些符号在不同国家或地区的使用历史。本文讨论了最新的地中海金字塔、MyPlate 以及南非、日本和阿根廷使用的金字塔。
