THE FOOD PYRAMID:A GUIDE TO A WELL-
BALANCED DIET
What is a food Pyramid?
A food guide pyramid is a pyramid shaped
guide of healthy foods divided into sections
to show the recommended intake for each food group.
The World Health Organization, in conjunction with the Food and
Agriculture Organization, published guidelines that can effectively be
represented in a food pyramid relating to objectives to prevent
obesity, chronic diseases and dental caries based on meta-analysis though
they represent it as a table rather than a "pyramid".
