Overview
The creator satirically introduces a fictional 'new' US food pyramid, which he claims is the old one flipped upside down. He proceeds to build a meal on a plate, item by item, according to its absurd rules, adding steak, salmon, specific vegetables, and a large amount of dairy while providing humorous commentary. He concludes by joking that processed foods like cereal are now forbidden, a rule he refuses to accept.

The Absurdist Assembly
To systematically construct a visual representation of a provocative or absurd new concept, rule by rule, while injecting humorous personal commentary that undermines the concept's authority.
- 1
The Foundational Rule
Establish the core principle of the new system and introduce the first, most significant component, setting the tone for the rest of the build.
- 2
Systematic Component Addition
Sequentially introduce new rules and visually add the corresponding components, following a clear, repetitive pattern that builds viewer expectation.
- 3
The Absurdist Specificity Beat
Introduce rules that are bizarrely specific or arbitrary, escalating the humor and absurdity of the premise beyond simple changes.
- 4
The Peak Absurdity Beat
Present the most exaggerated or ridiculous rule in the system, pushing the concept to its comedic breaking point.
- 5
The Rule Inversion Climax
Introduce a component that is explicitly forbidden by the rules, but interact with it in a symbolic or humorous way that defies the system.

Transcript
The United States has a brand new food pyramid, and I'm here to fill you in. Out with the old, in with the new. I hope you like red meat because that's at the top or the bottom. They basically just flipped it upside down. Healthy fats are a priority, and carrots and broccoli should be your most eaten vegetables, which is bad news for pretty much everyone. I'm kind of over broccoli. They also made sure to include an entire tomato as well as specifically frozen green peas. Now I've got a problem. I don't know how you feel about dairy, but I hope you like it because you're drinking whole milk now. Haven't done that since third grade. You can still eat avocado, but you can best toast. Kinda specific here, but you can eat four blueberries. Also, butter is great. Thank good. So far, we're not doing so bad until they want you to eat basically a whole wheel of cheese. I'm not sure my body can handle this coach. Now the bad news is bread is the new sugar. So we're just gonna wave this over the top and hope some joy trickles down. The good Reagan approach. Now there are some things I would change about this. Like, where does my midnight lucky charms binge fall? You're gonna have to pry cereal out of my cold dead hands.
