blog #13 food pyramid (Health is wealth!)

In my Nutrition Education class yesterday we talked about breaking down the food guide pyramid. My professor modified the pyramid adding a “sometimes food” section.

My Medical Nutrition professor showed us this picture of a homemade pyramid she found online:

There are a million versions of the food guide pyramid, but the overall message of moderation and variety remains a constant. What model/figure represents what you can follow to meet your health and fitness goals? If you take the pyramid and modify it to meet your needs what would it look like?
