Bulletin Board Contents
My bulletin board consists of a “Healthy Eating” title, as well as another poster that contrasts against the yellow backdrop. This poster is one that shows what the MyPyramid pyramid looks like as well as the daily recommended serving sizes, and the appropriate proportions for each group. Along the bottom of the board are descriptions of each of the food groups as they appear on the food pyramid; grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, meats and beans, and oils. From each description, depending on the group, there are examples of the different foods that belong in that group, that ascend toward the title; eventually forming a pyramid.
