Food Pyramids

Last week, we watched two videos called Nutrition by Natalie- Top 10 Worst Foods and Top 10 Best Foods.  You have by now also researched several of the vocabulary terms that came up during those videos.
Top 10 Best Foods
Top 10 Worst Foods
If you are interested, here is another great video from Natalie!
Top 10 Worst Drinks----Can you guess what they are?

Now, it is time to have a look at where these foods fit into the food pyramid and how much of each category do we need to stay healthy?  There is even a vegan pyramid...

Look at the images below, click on them to get a bigger image.

Your TASK:  Compare and contrast the new and the old pyramids.  What has changed?  What is still the same?  How well do you do in following the food pyramid each day?  Do you take multivitamins in the morning?
