Question

The food guide pyramid is a guideline created by the US Department of agriculture to encourage Americans to make healthy choices and to eat a balanced diet how does the food pyramid accomplish these goals do you think the food guide pyramid is effective why or why not

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The food pyramid can't force Americans to make healthy choices but it encourages them to choose fruits and vegetables, along with lean protein, as the main part of their diet.

2) It emphasizes the need to reduce the amount of sugar and fats by putting those at the top of the pyramid, which is the smallest serving size you are supposed to consume each day.

3) It helps people see the importance of balance in their diet. We shouldn't eat all carbohydrates like bread or french fries, but also, just eating fruit or just eating salad wouldn't be healthy either. We need a variety of different foods from the food groups, in proportions that are represented by the food pyramid.
