The native American Food Pyramid

 

Food Pyramid Comparisons

The Asian Food Pyramid is very different from the American Food Pyramid. It has recommendations for what you should eat monthly, weekly, and daily (optional). It also has a separate group for seeds & nuts, as well as, vegetable oil. The Asian pyramid has recommendations for daily beverage (saki, water, and tea) intake. However, they also show that daily physical activity is just as important as food nutrition.

The Native American, Italian, and Mexican food pyramid are similar to the United States’ pyramid. They have all the same serving sizes. They all suggest eating grains (6-11servings), vegetables (3-5 servings), fruit (2-4 servings), and meats
(2-3 servings), milk (2-3 servings), and using fats and sweets (sparingly).
