There's trouble afoot at the Food Pyramid: Strange new junk food like "candy bar" and "hot dog" are kicking off all the healthy food to have their own party. Even poor Granny Smith apple gets the boot! As the fruits and vegetables try to regroup, the junk keeps the party going. But no pyramid can support all that junk for long-when it comes time to rebuild, will the healthy foods be able to find the right balance?
With different diets receiving so much attention in recent years, nutrition can be a confusing topic for young readers, so Rex Barron uses a simple story and animated edibles to present an easy introduction to the basic concepts of healthy eating as recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture.

It's OK.:
Like the previous reviewer said, this book is simplistic and somewhat out of date. I'd like to see the potatoes have a more prominent role in the story instead of as strong, but silent bystanders. The graphics are very good, at least.
out of date info:
Decent book, but information is a bit out of date. Beans got classified with nuts as something to only have a small amount of because of high fat content. Since when are beans high fat?
