The New Food Pyramid: My Pyramid

This new pyramid is completely different from the previous one that was created in 1992. One of the obvious features is the person walking up the left side of the pyramid. This was created to remind the viewer of the role exercise plays in our health and nutrition. The different vertical colors of the pyramid represent various food groups and the width of the colors reminds us of how much in quantity we should ingest. The wider base represents more of the "good" things to eat in that category, while as the pyramid narrows at the top, to eat less of the "bad" stuff.
