Completely agree with this post :)  I have a weight loss motivation group, and i've had a few people ask me the "best diet" and i refer them to the food pyramid.  there's a great website i think it is www.mypyramid.gov it gives great tips on the food pyramid and how to use it!

I'm so excited that you've started this group!
We try to think about what we eat and we've helped ourselves quite a bit recently. At dinner we talk to and with the kids about how God gives us lots of food and it contains different good things in it so we eat a variety to get lots of good stuff all together. That got me to thinking so I purchased a pack that contained the food grups and some information and put it up on the kitchen wall - a blank wall that we use for this kind of stuff - next to where we eat.
Boy! This has made us really think about adding different foods and trying new things..it's great! I'll post a picture of it later. It has really started a lot of conversations with the kids about what we eat and activity and variety...

Here's a picture of what's on the kitchen wall. It's been great. Soooo much discussion at meals...even with kids as young as 5 and 3 (almost 4). Now they recognize that foods go in different groups and what the groups are. And that involving differents foods is important.
The bottom right pictures are from the mypyramid.gov site and really I wanted them to see the actual pyramid...the shape and to see the "a little more of this group than this group"...and I wanted some information for me to be able to share already up and refer to.
The glass tells us that we need to drink water.

YOUR DAUGHTER IS ADORABLE. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD TOO. SHE EATS ALMOST EVERYTHING. I AM SO LUCKY WITH HER.

I heard that the FDA revised the food pyramid.  Anyone else hear that?  I heard that they are realizing people need a lot more vegetables and fruit than they originally thought (5-8 servings a day), and maybe not quite so much bread.
