Nowadays, everybody seems to be obsessed with what they eat, and there are a lot of diets promising quick and dramatic results. Personally, I believe that we need something more than a temporary fix, and the food pyramid or MyPlate guide offer solutions which can help us change our diets permanently.

First of all, these dietary guidelines develop our understanding of what foods to eat and in what proportions, presenting them in a visual form. The food pyramid shows foods being categorised into levels of a pyramid, where the base is occupied by products which should constitute the majority of our diet. MyPlate, on the other hand, offers a visual representation of optimal servings of five food groups we should eat every day. It helps us to create healthy meals on a balanced diet.

Secondly, both guides are easy to follow, as there is not much to be read and the emphasis is put on the image. The simplicity of both pictograms is what makes them stand out from many other food recommendations or diets. Even someone who does not have an extensive knowledge of nutrition will be able to compose a meal following the guidelines.

In conclusion, from my point of view, both MyPlate and the food pyramid are useful tools, necessary for anybody who is serious about changing their dietary habits for the better. They not only offer clear recommendations as to what we should eat, but do it in an attractive and simplified way.
