“The Food Guide Pyramid brochure offers practical, easy-to-follow guidelines for a healthy diet,” said Wendy Davis, RD, LD, manager, consumer affairs, FMI. “By including real life examples of what consumers eat and addressing important dietary considerations such as portion sizes and the nutrition content of carryout and restaurant meals, the guidelines can help any consumer plan healthier meals for themselves and their families.”
The brochure offers reasonable and manageable actions that any consumer can work into their own daily routine to increase the quality and enjoyment of the foods they are eating and the activities they are performing. A sample menu is also provided, bringing the Food Guide Pyramid recommendations to life.
Davis added, “The most important machine you’ll ever own is your body. Keeping it in great operating condition can be made easier through both diet and exercise.”
Brochures can be purchased ($2.00 each) through the FMI Store at 202-220-0723 or www.fmi.org/pub.
