The
USDA Food Guide Pyramid:
Your guide to daily food choices
The
Food Guide Pyramid helps you eat better every day. Start with
plenty of breads, cereals, rice, pasta, vegetables and fruits. Add
two to three servings from the milk group and two to three servings
from the meat group. Each food group provides some, but not all,
of the nutrients you need. No one food group is more important than
another - for good health you need them all. The pyramid was designed
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
