Let’s define Food Pyramid
1. A graphic representation of the structure of a food chain, depicted as a pyramid having a broad base formed by producers and tapering to a point formed by end consumers. Between successive levels, total biomass decreases as energy is lost from the system.
2. A diagrammatic representation of recommended portions of basic food groups. Also called diet pyramid.
FOOD PYRAMID

ITALIAN FOOD PYRAMID
The Italian food pyramid is a version of the US Department of Agriculture food pyramid
The original food pyramid was designed to try and reverse the growing trend of heart disease and other diseases caused by bad nutrition and bad diet. In the US this is because the population has more than tendency to eat junk food and skimp on the essential vitamins provided by fruits and vegetables.
SO HOW DOES THE ITALIAN FOOD PYRAMID DIFFER?
Mediterranean - The region surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Several important ancient civilizations flourished in the region, which was dominated for millennia by Phoenicia, Carthage, Greece, Sicily, and Rome.
There is much more of an emphasis on eating foods that have a plant origin.
There is also much more emphasis on eating fish and
shellfish at least twice a week.
Not only are fruits and vegetables eaten a lot more by the Italians and Mediterranean’s, but they also eat many more grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, olives, and olive oil.
This is always going to make for good healthy food, packed with vitamins and minerals.
The last few years healthiness of the Mediterranean diet has got a lot to do with the fact that Italians and Mediterranean on the whole have far less chronic diseases which are associated with the Western diet such as heart attacks and strokes etc.
The Italian food pyramid basically concentrates on more of the foods that make up the
Mediterranean diet.
The Italian food pyramid is one of the most nutritious food pyramids in the
world.
ITAL IAN CUIS INE, ALONG WITH ALL MEDITERRANEAN CUIS INES, INCORPORATES
SOME OF THE BEST FOODS THAT ARE GROWN IN THE REGION.
It is also one of the tastiest food pyramids to follow.
THE ITALIAN CUISINE HAS TRULY GONE GLOBAL AND PEOPLE EVERYWHERE IN THE
WORLD SEEMS INFATUATED WITH IT. HOWEVER, THERE IS MORE TO ITALIAN FOOD THAN JUST P IZZA AND PASTA. WHEN PEOPLE
THINK OF POPULAR ITALIAN FOOD, THEY MOST L IKELY THINK OF LASAGNA, TORTELLINI ,
OR SPAGHETTI . HOWEVER, ITALIAN FOOD IS ACTUALLY A L ITTLE DIFFERENT AND MUCH
MORE DIVERSE.
LET’S LOOK!
Pizza
Honestly…was there any doubt
about what would be number one?
One of the interesting things about the original
Italian pizza though is that it
does not contain a great deal of
cheese or tomato sauce and the
crust is quite thin. In Italy, a small
pizza is often eaten as a starter rather
than an entrée.
Spaghetti
Anywhere in the world that you
go, you can find spaghetti. While there are many other extremely popular pasta dishes you can
find anywhere in the world,
spaghetti must be considered
the favorite. It is easy to make,
very cheap and there are so
many different varieties.
Lasagna
Lasagna is truly a classic Italian
dish. Lasagna is made of a
combination of sausage,
parmesan and mozzarella
cheeses, ricotta, and ground beef.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION!
