I really like the “my pyramid.” I think it could help alot of people, by letting them know what they need to be eating to help stay healthy
I didn’t know the food pyramid looked was diagional now in regards to the porpotions of food groups that are supposed to be eaten. I like the way the video breaks down who the best/healthier foods to be eaten are in the wider portion of the pyramid. I also like the reasoning for the person “running up the pyramid” which basically meant that physical activity is required. This a very informative video.
4 out of 5
I would rate this video a 3 out of 5. It was interesting but it did not go into enough detail.
I think it everyone picks things that they like that go hand-in-hand with the pyramid, it can work.
i agree. There’s plenty of things in the food pyramid to choose from
I do believe that if each person did their own it would be more personal and maybe help people stick to it. I rate this video a 4 out of 5
I give this a 3 out of 5 just simply because this is stuff we’ve learned in highschool and I feel like i’ve heard it over and over.
I think the my pyramid is a great idea for making it more personal. I give this a 4/5.
I think my pyramid is an excellent tool to get the right amounts of food we need.
That chart was pretty neat. I like how it was color coordinated and the size of each column was for how much you should have a day. I think that would be a good way for people to learn what they should and should not eat, especially if it was being used to teach younger children.
I agree with the color chart (pyramid)
I like the “My Pyramid” Idea I think that it would help people to stick to a healthy diet if they feel that it’s just for them.
I have also learned what the different colors on there mean.
very informative.
I agree. The pyramid is easy to understand and more teens will try to follow it. The dietary guidelines are good examples and if we practice we could all be healthier.
I would rate this video 4 out of 5. I think it cut off the last thing she was about to say.
