Off the batt, I noticed that the pyramid only lists five good groups, but reveals six divisions of color, with the smallest section being the yellow one&#8211;a section that is unlabeled. I wonder if yellow is supposed to represent a room in one&#8217;s diet for more unhealthy foods, but it seems pretty ambiguous. I also think that the tagline &#8220;steps to a healthier you&#8221; is misleading, because the chart does not discuss other aspects of health such as exercise, sleep, and therapy. Rather, it shows a figure walking up to the top of the pyramid, implying that if you eat these foods, you will be at peak health. Furthermore. the width of each section within the pyramid does not adequately reveal how much of these foods one should eat. Finally, it refers to the dairy section as solely &#8220;milk&#8221; and the protein section as &#8220;meat &amp; beans,&#8221; leaving out options for people with diatary restrictions. The MyPlate graphic was developed in response to the misleading information within this graph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I chose this commonly used chart that depicts what healthy eating the United States should look like.
