THE FOOD PYRAMID | Educational Video for Kids.
Published May 16, 2023, 6:20 a.m. by Courtney
In the United States, the food pyramid is a pyramid-shaped guide of healthy foods divided into sections to illustrate the recommended intake for each food group. The first food pyramid was published in Sweden in 1974. The current food pyramid was released by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 2005.
The food pyramid is designed to make healthy eating easier. It shows how many servings from each food group you should eat every day. The food pyramid is also a good way to learn about the different types of food and the nutrients they provide.
The food pyramid has six sections:
1. Grains
2. vegetables
3. Fruits
4. dairy
5. Protein
6. Oils
Each section is color-coded to represent a different food group. The sections get smaller as you go up the food pyramid, which means that you should eat fewer servings of the foods in the upper sections.
The food pyramid is a helpful tool for teaching kids about healthy eating. The visual design makes it easy to understand and remember. And it’s a good way to get kids interested in trying new foods from each food group.
The USDA’s ChooseMyPlate.gov website has a lot of great resources for kids, including games, activities, and a tool to create a personalized food plan.
