Having gone from upper middle class to lower middle within the span of my life, I can assure you that these men and women who need a giant list of ingredients in order to cook would likely crap their pants if they had to make do with a bag of flour, cooking oil, few dried beans, an onion, and a can of stewed tomatoes. I could make a feast out of the above ingredients and nobody would walk away from the table hungry or dissatisfied, as could many industrious poor women. If you need a list of fancy ingredients to cook, basically it means you aren't that good of a cook.
As for the food pyramid, there used to be a nutrition tracking app called Chronometer and it would inform me of how lacking my diet happened to be in vitamins and minerals. Basically the only way to get enough nutrition according to the app is to eat kale salad with oil free dressing seven large meals per day. I love me some kale salad but nobody can live up to Chronometer's requirements without being utterly obsessed with food. I think Chronometer and the FDA accidentally reveal how much etheric depletion affects food. No matter how many clean calories you jam in your face, there's no keeping up with the modern devitalization of food.
