Food pyramid serves as a basic guide to healthy eating. It tells you about the importance of foods in each food group in our diet. All are equally important because they supply various nutrients to our body. No food group is more or less important, only the proportion of each varies in our diet. Vegetables are important for fibre, vitamins and minerals but emphasis is more on non-starchy vegetables as compared to starchy ones. In my opinion, the fruits and vegetable group is the most difficult to follow as foods from this group are mostly lacking in our daily diet. Hope I have answered your questions satisfactorily. If you need any more help for your project, you can ask me again. I will be glad to help you as I am a nutritionist.
