This is why I'm shaped like a pyramid!

Sadly, this doesn't even make sense to me. I used to be able to figure out the four food groups, and even the old pyramid, although I regularly ignored them both. But this tells me that I'm supposed to eat daily:

6 ounces grains
2.5 cups vegetables
1.5 cups fruits
3 cups milk &
5 ounces meat


Seriously, I can't even begin to figure out what three meals made up of this combination would be like. I'm baffled!

Wow, thanks.

At first I was concerned that you only had 1 cup of milk instead of 3, but then I happily saw the chocolate chip ice cream to help me build strong bones and teeth.

Whew, what a relief!

I was going to post a "real" snack that would have given you the proper dairy, but I got a little carried away.
