The Ultimate Guide To The Teenage Food Pyramid
Posted by Catherine, the redhead mom blogger on Apr 3, 2008 in Mom Rants and Raves |
Many years ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture created a powerful and enduring icon – the Food Guide Pyramid. As an alternative to the USDA’s pyramid, teenage boys everywhere built their own version of the Healthy Eating Pyramid. I submit for your review Brian’s idea of the perfect Food Pyramid:
The Fats\Oils\Sweet Group:
The Dairy Group:
The Meat\Fish\Nut Group:
The Vegetable Group:
The Fruit Group:
The Cereal\Bread Group:
The Rice\Pasta Group:
Daily Water – 8 Servings:
Until next time-

I think my oldest son and your son follow the same pyramid! LOL…this was great!!!
That puts him about on par with most of the adults I know.
My children loves every food you displayed above.
OK, Now THAT was freekin’ hilarious! So flipping funny I was cracking up. Well done – excellent post!
Is that a menu to a restaurant in heaven? I will be good from now on if that’s the case.
So funny! I have 3 boys and they all think like Brian!
Catherine – You’re too funny. However, I bet that resembles the food pyramid of a majority of people.
I know that Brian doesn’t eat like that – he only wishes he could.
Great post.
My kids would add the Chocolate Group, because for them it’s in a class all it’s own.
Oh this was great!! I loved it… but in our house Ranch dressing comes in second to ketsup!!
Well its obvious that that is an International food triangle…cause here downundah my 15 year old son would agree with those choices, but he might change the ketchup (tomato sauce) for BBQ!
Great post! Looks like you are definitely surviving motherhood with boys!
hehe I dont know about teenage boys, but I am a grown adult (well I keep telling myself that anyway hehe!!) and it all looks good to me ;o)
I know … all the boys that come to my homes ask for the same thing…Pancakes, Ribs and catchup!Thanks for your comment.

Yeah, some of you adult men dream of spreading popcorn butter on your lady while watching a good action movie…and not having to cuddle after
Yeah I think it’s a conspiracy!
I am glad I made you laugh – you are too cute yourself. I should do a food pyramid for PMSing women… hmmmm
Hmmmm and George Clooney is serving with a nice bottle of Pinot.
Yes and I bet when you try new food they look down at their plates and in chorus say, “Uhhh what is THIS??”
My ex husband and I told Brian that fish was “Sea Chicken” and since chicken was all he would eat back then, it was our way of getting him to eat fish. Once, a butcher almost said “fish” in front of Brian when I voiced over him …”You mean the SEA CHICKEN?” and shot him that begging please-don’t-blow-this-for-me parenting look. TO which the Butcher replied “We have the freshest sea chicken in town!”
Yes… I think for me the whole pyramid could be all types of dark chocolate, with the bottom water row consisting of red wine, coffee and water…
Ah yes, Ranch dressing – he likes that for his french fries whn it’s allowed.
Ahhhh yes, BBQ sauce … that too! I think my son would like his eggs to be BBQd …
Yes, they are really great fun. Who knew that I would be lousy at picking for long term healthy relationships for myself but be a great mom and influence on boys. Maybe if I spoke to men the way I do to all the boys that manage to eat me out of house and home I might do better in the adult variety…? (laugh) I think your site idea is great I wish you great success with it!
Every time I look at that steak I want to sit down to a steak dinner…
I love this! If it weren’t for Rice, cheeseburgers and Peanut butter then I am sure that my 13 yr. old grandson would starve! Pepsi and Juice Boxes also (No water…yuck). I love your posts!!!
