By looking at the Food Guide Pyramid,
you can see the types of food you should
eat every day. The bigger the section of
the pyramid, the more food you should eat
of that kind. The base or lowest levels of
the Food Guide Pyramid is the biggest, so
you should eat the most servings of these
food (bread, cereal, rice and pasta group).
The top of the Food Guide Pyramid is the
smallest, so you should eat the least of
these foods.
Therefore, you build your healthy body
from the bottom of the pyramid up!
