This section is about what a food pyramid is. You can use the pyramid to compare your diet to to see if your diet is healthy. There are six colored bands for the food groups. They are: grains, vegetables, fruit, oils, milk products, and meat and beans. The bottom of the pyramid is wide, to show that you should choose foods that are low in solid fat and added sugars. An example of food on the bottom part would be whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce. At the thinner part of the pyramid the foods have more fat and sugar. An example of food is packaged macaroni and cheese.
