Food Pyramid

This food pyramid is one of the reasons why people are suffering.

It promoted;

• 6–11 servings of bread, cereal, rice, and pasta daily (the base)
• Fats/oils at the very top ( to be used sparingly)
• Protein and dairy in the middle
• Fruits and vegetables in similar, moderate quantities

The base encouraged lots of starches, often without distinguishing between whole grains and refined ones.

Minimal fats that definitely got people addicted to foods because there was no satiety.

This pyramid is a true reflection of how the food industry has its hands deep into the nutrition syllabus.

Nutrition science is evolving.

Healthy fats should be consumed in plenty

Eating more whole foods should be part of your schedule.

Drop ultra-processed foods.
