Should the Food Pyramid Be Tipped on It's Head?

The healthy food pyramid has been a basic food principle for generations, suggesting we consume mostly grains, cereals, bread and pasta, whilst limiting fats and protein. The dairy board has also drummed into us the importance of daily ingestion of milk and cheese. We have been told time and again grains and dairy are a great source of nutrition and without these food groups our diet will be deficient in fibre, calcium and other essential nutrients. However, growing research suggests the food pyramid needs to be tipped on its head!
