INSTRUCTIONS
"When the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture brought out its new food guide
pyramid, at least one group felt left out: vegetarians. A nutrition
expert from New York Medical College has now remedied the problem.
"Arlene Spark, Ph.D., clinical assc. prof. of nutrition, developed a
pyramid that helps nonmeat eaters build a healthful diet. Her pyramid
matches the USDA version in overall organization, but it offers
substitutes for the meat/fish group and for the dairy group. In
addition, the veg. pyramid includes special recommendations for
vegans....These recommendations ensure that vegans obtain all needed
nutrients." Top portion of pyramid: "Vegans Must Consume Daily" veg.
oil (3-5 tsp) and Blackstrap molasses (1 tbs.) and Brewer's yeast (1
tbs.) 2nd portion: "Milk and Milk Substitutes Group" milk, yogurt,
cheese and fortified soy milk (with added calcium, vitamins B12 and D)
(2-4 servings) "Meat/Fish Substitutes Group" dry beans, nuts, seeds,
peanut butter, tofu, and eggs (2-3 servings) 3rd portion: "Vegetable
Group" 3+ servings "Fruit Group" 2-4 servings 4th portion (bottom of
pyramid): "Grains and Starchy Vegetables Group" bread, cereal, rice,
pasta, corn, potatoes, and green peas (6-11 servings) Posted by
