What is the Food Pyramid?

• The Food Pyramid is a picture that shows us how to eat healthy foods.
• It is shaped like a triangle and has different levels for different kinds of foods.
• The bottom has foods we can eat the most, like grains and bread.
• The top has foods we should eat only a little, like sweets and snacks.

Example 1: You can eat lots of rice and whole wheat bread because they give us energy.

Example 2: Fruits and vegetables should be on your plate every day, like carrots, apples, and bananas.

Example 3: Treats like candy or ice cream are fun but should be eaten only sometimes!

Fun Fact: The Food Pyramid helps us remember to have a variety of foods for a balanced and healthy meal!
