The new food pyramid breaks food down into grains, vegetables, fruit, oils, milk, and meat. Within each category are a variety of foods, some better than others. For example, whole grain products are better for you than foods made from highly refined grains. Think rolled oats instead of sugar sweetened cereal for breakfast and you get the idea. This table shows each food pyramid component:
