A New Food Pyramid - Just Eat More Veg.

The new Healthy Eating Pyramid has been launched by Nutrition Australia and it is an improvement.

It seeks to feature only healthy food, instead of giving consideration to existing "bad habits".  So the sugar at the apex is gone.  Instead, sugar and salt are both outside the pyramid with a big red cross.
The biggest change, however, has switched the grains/flour/bread layer up to a smaller part of the pyramid which reflects a more up-to-date idea of a healthy eating plan.  The vegetables occupy the entire bottom section which means our diet should comprise mostly veg.  Remember Michael Pollan's tome@"In Defence of Food - an eater's manifesto".

I like the update, here is the link to  Healthy eating pyramid, where you can read more about it.

The ribbon tied around the lettuce says  "Eat food, Mostly Plants, Not too much"
