The Food Pyramid Has Been Replaced

Remember in school where we were taught about the food pyramid?


Remember how we were to eat lots of grains, fruits and vegetables and use oils and sweets in very small quantities? Well, all of that has changed! American researchers have found that the food pyramid is no longer a good source for nutrition, and instead they introduced My Plate!



The idea of My Plate is to enjoy all of your food but in small quantities. Notice how they advise us to eat less grains and more vegetables and fruits? It definitely makes sense to me... You can't eat lots of grains and expect yourself to be in a perfect shape! They you advise us to include dairy in our meals, and drink water instead of sugary drinks.

What do you think about the new research?
