The Food Pyramid
The Food Pyramid was created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide people with an outline of the amount of each type of food they should consume in a day to maintain a balanced diet. Following the pyramid can help you stay healthy and develop good eating habits for life. These sites will teach you more about the Food Pyramid and how to eat right.
