This 12″ X 9.75 ”  book is a simple introduction into the world of a balanced diet.  Page 4 states, ” A balanced diet includes fruit, vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein.” From there it shows a  modified pie chart of a balanced diet using a dinner plate with fork, an additional circle (glass) for dairy, and ‘Choose MyPlate.gov’ written across the bottom of the place-mat. Facts about each food group are then given two pages with numerous photos of food large enough to be easily recognizable by young readers. Serving sizes are not mentioned.

Fruits include: apples, tomatoes, raspberries, and watermelon which help fight disease. Vegetables include: carrots, peas, and broccoli which keep a body healthy. Grains include: oats, wheat, and rice which give energy. Dairy include: milk, cheese, and yogurt which help build strong bones and teeth. Protein include: meat, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts which help you to grow.

‘Healthy Fats’, ‘Sugar’, and ‘Exercise and Sleep’ are also, given two pages apiece.
