📌 Explanation:
The Food Pyramid is a visual guide showing how much of each food group you should eat daily. The
wider the base, the more of that food group you should consume. The
top is narrow because those foods (fats, oils, sweets) should be eaten in small amounts.
This model encourages a balanced diet with:
-
More fruits, vegetables, and grains
-
Moderate amounts of protein and dairy
-
Limited fats and sweets
