The Food Guide Pyramid So what is this Food Pyramid?(Click on the button that you think fits best) An Egyptian refrigerator. Nope try again. Okay, it is a pyramid of food but it’s not THE Food Pyramid. You’re right!!! This is what it looks like. You can click on it for a bigger view. The next layer up is the fruits and vegetables group.You need 2 to 4 servings of the fruits and 3 to 5 servings of the vegetables. The next layer is the dairy and the protein groups. We need 2 to 3 servings a day of the dairy group and 2 to 3 servings of the protein group. The tip-top of the pyramid is the sugar,fats, and salt group. Guess what? We don’t need to make choices for that group because if we eat foods from the other groups we get all the fats, sugars and salt our bodies need. If you built a pyramid and take out a few pieces in the middle or build it with the smallest part on the bottom, what will happen? Our bodies don’t come tumbling down, but little things might happen like: Maybe you’re too tired to do your work at school, You’re cranky, Cuts and injuries might take longer to heal, Or it takes longer to get over a cold. In the long run if we don’t choose a healthy diet we have a greater chance of getting some bad diseases like: Heart disease Diabetes Obesity Each group on the Pyramid contains certain nutrients. If we eat foods from each group we’ll be sure to get all the nutrients we need. You may have seen some of those nutrients on the labels of some of the foods you have eaten. Some are: protein carbohydrates iron vitamin C calcium cholesterol Bibliography Food and Nutritional Information Center. (1995, December). Eat a variety of foods, cereal label.
