The widths of the stripes on the food pyramid represent the recommended proportions of different food groups in a balanced diet. Wider stripes indicate that those food groups should be consumed in larger quantities, while narrower stripes suggest that they should be eaten more sparingly. This visual representation helps individuals understand how to prioritize their food choices for optimal nutrition and health.
