Shopware - The New Food Pyramid

The New Food Pyramid

When it comes to nutrition today, one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why the USDA created MyPyramid, a food guidance system that emphasizes a more individualized approach to improving diet and overall physical fitness. After watching this video, your students will have a clear understanding of the food pyramid’s history, the six themes incorporated into the MyPyramid system, the main components of MyPyramid, and how people like themselves can make this updated food pyramid a part of their life. Solid information delivered by nutrition experts from Princeton University and elsewhere and supported by onscreen diagrams, lists, and fun facts make The New Food Pyramid an indispensable part of any health-related video collection. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online. Correlates to National Health Education Standards for Achieving Health Literacy. A Meridian Production. Recommended for grades 7-12.
