The Food Guide Pyramid is one way for people to understand how to eat healthy.
A rainbow of colored, vertical stripes represents the five food groups plus
fats and oils. Here's what the colors stand for:
• orange — grains
• green — vegetables
• red — fruits
• yellow — fats and oils
• blue — milk and dairy products
• purple — meat, beans, fish, and nuts
As a final project your group will select healthy food choices from the pyramid
to eat. You can find different receipts to cook at home for your families.
