Understanding Food Groups

The video tutorial introduces the concept of food groups, starting with the historical food pyramid from Sweden in 1974, which categorized foods into six groups. It then transitions to the modern MyPlate model introduced in 2011, which simplifies the categories into five groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. Each group is explained in detail, highlighting their nutritional benefits and recommended servings. The video concludes with a discussion on why candy is not a food group and emphasizes moderation in consumption.
