The Harvard Healthy Eating Pyramid
The Healthy Eating Pyramid has fish, poultry, and eggs at the next part of the Food Pyramid, followed by dairy products. The Healthy Eating Pyramid suggests less of all of these foods, when compared to the USDA Food Pyramid.The Michigan Healing Foods Pyramid
The Healing Foods has eggs and dairy at this level and then suggests that fish, seafood and lean red meats are only needed weekly.These two Food Pyramids suggest less consumption of red meats and less dairy than the USDA Food Pyramid. Although they are important sources of protein, studies show that the saturated fat in red meat is bad for our health. Another concern that I have with meats and dairy products is the use of antibiotics and hormones that are used for most of the animals that are the sources of these products. When you buy these foods, look for anti-biotic and hormone free, low fat products.
