The pyramid as such is only a kind of an illustration.

It is very wide at bottom and narrow at top.

The shape is mainly to illustrate how we should eat/use food.

----1---- At top we find food we should eat little of.

---22--- The further down we go, we find food of better value for us.

--333---We need all the types of food though, just to a varying degree.

-4455-- The further down we go, the more important to us is the food.

66666 A pyramid only visualize quantity versus necessity.

1 = Fatty food, Oils, Sweets, Chips etc.

2 = Milk, Yogurt, Cheese.

3 = Meat, Fish, Beans, Eggs, Nuts.

4 = Most kinds of fruits.

5 = Most kinds of vegetables.

6 = Bread, Cereals, Rice, Pasta.
