In this show, the differences between the new food pyramid and the old food pyramid are discussed. This show also talks about why the revision of the food pyramid was necessary in today’s society.
For example, the old food pyramid was grouped with grains at the base, while other groups were built off of the previous ones. The “building block” style of the old food pyramid can send the wrong message that the food group at the base is the most important and has the highest priority. In fact all the food groups are equally important. That is why the ratio and the amount of each group eaten everyday which counts. Following a balanced diet plan can help us live a healthy life.
The USDA, United States Department of Agriculture, has added another group to the new food pyramid. This group has been added to accommodate our eating habits and the life style of the modern world.
