"food guide"

[NFrawRUNNER]

OKOKOK, I want to get my kids acclimated to eating more raw foods and I need visuals! Is there such a thing as a "raw food" food pyramid? My 2 younger kids will do well if they have a chart to check/color....and I'll feel better if I can somehow track their nutrition???? I have looked online but only can find USDA food pyramids and such....even the vegan ones have soy, etc... I plan on having them increase their raw consumption this summer once school is out and need a little help getting organized. I have 5 children between 9 and 19.............HELP!!!

Yes there's the Raw Food Pearamid here if you scroll down the page:

Although depending on the type of diet you are following, the large amount of food consumed would be different - this one concentrates on more fruit than fat.

The chart looks great! It's exactly what I'm looking for!

Great question Diantha...I've wondered about that. Thanks for posting that Sharon. If anyone else knows of any others please post; I'd love to compare and research them.

I tried to copy and enlarge this without luck...I'm such a frugal person....guess I gotta break down and buy it! :rolleyes:

You can actually make one of your own:


draw a pyramid and

bottom: 80 % Carbohydrates; from fruits and vegetables/greens
middle; 10 % Proteins; nuts grains seeds
top; 10 % Fats; oils/fats/avocado

We have a perfect chart;
