Let’s talk Why do we eat food? How many kinds of food you know? What foods do you like the most? What do you usually eat for (breakfast)? What is junk food? What is healthy food? How can you ensure a balanced alimentation?

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: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) changed the Pyramid in 2005 because they wanted to do a better job of telling Americans how to be healthy. The agency later released a special version for kids. Notice the hiker climbing up the side? That's a way of showing kids how important it is to exercise and be active every day. In other words, play a lot! The steps are also a way of saying that you can make changes little by little to be healthier. One step at a time, get it?

The Pyramid Speaks Let's look at some of the other messages this symbol is trying to send: Eat a variety of foods. A balanced diet is one that includes all the food groups. In other words, have foods from every color, every day. Eat less of some foods, and more of others. You can see that the bands for meat and protein (purple) and oils (yellow) are skinnier than the others. That's because you need less of those kinds of foods than you do of fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy foods. You also can see the bands start out wider and get thinner as they approach the top. That's designed to show you that not all foods are created equal, even within a healthy food group like fruit. For instance, apple pie would be in that thin part of the fruit band because it has a lot of added sugar and fat. A whole apple — crunch! — would be down in the wide part because you can eat more of those within a healthy diet.

Every color Every day: The colors orange, green, red, yellow, blue, and purple represent the five different food groups plus oils. Remember to eat foods from all foods group every day. Make choices that are right for you: MyPyramid.gov is a Web site that will give everyone in the family personal ideas on how to eat better and exercise more. Take one step at a time: You don’t need to change overnight what you eat and how you exercise. Just start with one new, good thing, and add a new one every day.

Grain Group foods give us carbohydrates (car-bo-hi- drate). Carbohydrates give us the energy we need to play, learn, sleep and keep our bodies running 24-7! Grain Group Foods come from many different grain plants: wheat, oats, rye, barley and rice. "Whole-grains" like whole-wheat bread, also provide fiber and other substances that help keep us healthy. Fiber also helps us digest our food. Try to choose whole-grain foods from this group. There are many foods to choose from in the Grain Group: bread: white, wheat, rye, buns, rolls, muffins, bagels cereals: hot and cold rice: all kinds pasta: spaghetti, macaroni, noodles tortillas crackers pancakes

Is it easier for you to see in the dark or the daylight? For most people it's easier in the daylight! Foods in the Vegetable Group give us vitamin A that helps us see in the dark. Vitamin A also helps to keep our skin healthy. Vegetables also provide: Vitamin C, which helps heal cuts and bruises and fight infections. Fiber, which helps us digest our food. Substances called "phytochemicals" (fight-o kem ick- kals) that help prevent diseases. Some foods in the Vegetable Group are: broccoli cauliflower corn peas green beans lettuce mushrooms celery carrots white potatoes and sweet potatoes juices made from vegetables: tomato juice, carrot juice

Fruit Group foods provide vitamin C. Vitamin C helps our body heal cuts and bruises and fight infections! Fruit Group foods also provide: Vitamin A, which helps us see in the dark and helps keep our skin healthy. Fiber, which helps us digest our food. Substances called "phytochemicals" (fight-o kem ick- kals) that help prevent diseases. Some of the foods in the Fruit group are: apples oranges bananas pears grapes kiwi berries: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries melons: watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew pineapple papaya

Did you know your body has 206 bones that are alive and growing? Believe it or not, you'll eventually have 32 permanent teeth! Milk Group foods provide calcium that helps build strong bones and teeth. They also provide other important nutrients, including protein, vitamin A, vitamin D, and B vitamins. Calcium helps: strengthen bones, which are growing stronger and longer stop bleeding if you get cut or bruised muscles contract and relax Build strong bones with these foods in the Milk Group: milk flavored milk like strawberry, banana, chocolate yogurt cheese: string, cheddar, American and others pudding frozen yogurt

Stand up and take a step. You just used 54 muscles! Your muscles hold your bones together and make them move. Meat Group foods help build strong muscles. Foods in this group provide protein and iron. Iron is important because it: carries oxygen to all parts of your body helps prevent infections and anemia that can make you feel tired helps your body make energy to get you through busy days Build muscles with these Meat Group foods: beef pork chicken and turkey fish dried beans and peas peanut butter eggs nuts
