Comparing the Diet Pyramid with our diets

-Iryna, Nina, Eugene

What we are going to do is compare the differences and similarities in diet between our own and the Pyramid that we take from the chapter.
First, we look at the "Latin American Diet Pyramid". Unlike the pyramid, we have an opposite idea in "At Every Meal" section. For instance, we usually eat cereal or breads for our breakfast and sandwich for our lunch. When we can usually have vegetables and fruits is dinner. So we insist that the name of the section "At Every Meal" should be changed with "Daily". In addition, we do eat fish or shellfish once or twice a week. Instead we have meat for almost every single day. We think it's better place "Meat" in "Optional Daily" and "Fish and Shellfish" into "Weekly". And we strongly agree with take a "Daily Physical Activity".
Next, we focus on the "The Vegetarian Food Pyraimd". What the most impressive point of this graph that we get is that they eat much more than we thought before.
