| | Food Pyramid Web Site - Update August 2008: please note that if
children input their information using height & weight information into the
website to obtain an individualized food pyramid, the website may state that
they are above or below the norm. This is still a problem within the
government's system. If you re-input the information, the correct pyramid
should come up.
