Food Pyramid

It really doesn't matter what the food pyramid featuring recommended nutrition guidelines looks like. My children each have their own versions of what one ought to eat. They break down something like this:

Evan:
Processed sugars 43%, Fats 24%, Salty Snacks 14%, Red Meat, Ham, Bacon, Sausage, or Pepperoni 11%, White-flour Carbs 8%
Vegetables and fruit are useful for scooping up dip or holding dressing, but should be ingested with moderation.

Katie:
Fruit & Vegetables 53%; Red Meat, Ham, Bacon, Sausage, eggs, & Dairy (excluding most cheese, milk unless under duress, and yogurt that is not rainbow colored) 24%; Plain white rice, pasta, or bread 10%; Salty Snacks incompatible with orthodontia 6%; Candy and Soda 6%; Brownies 1%
Katie will never turn away from a sweet, but she will prepare meals of plain rice with gigantic dishes of veggies when left to her own devices. The issue here is the lack of lean protein and low-fat dairy in her diet. She experimented with vegetarian/vegan options before realizing that animal products are utilized in baking and meat.

Erin:
15% eggs, bacon, Miss Sylvia's fajitas, not breakfast sausage or chicken, only barbecued turkey sausage made by Mom; 15% candy & gum; 15% cereal and waffles; 15% Rice; 15% LaCreme vanilla yogurt or Go-Gurt; 15% ice cream; 15% Nuts; 15% Chips & Pretzels; 15% Mac & Cheese; 15% Grilled Cheese sandwiches
Fruit and vegetables are for losers. Dips and dressing can be eaten with a spoon or one's fingers. (Adding is for losers, too. 15 is the new 42. It's the answer to life, the universe, and everything!)
