Today we learned about the "Anatomy of MyPyramid", which is the USDA's new Food Guide Pyramid. We also learned about the five main food groups, what they consist of, and about serving sizes. It's important to not only make healthy food choices in our lives, but to realize the importance of daily physical activity as well.
