From 1956 until 1992 the United States Department of Agriculture recommended its Basic Four Food Groups.
The government's Basic Four involved
(1) meats, poultry, fish, dry beans and peas, eggs, and nuts;
(2) dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt;
(3) grains; and
(4) fruits and vegetables.
This was omnipresent in nutrition education in the United States. In 1992 it was replaced by the Food Pyramid.
