The U.S. Department of Agriculture's newest food pyramid guide, called My Pyramid, encourages consumers to make healthier food choices and to get regular exercise. Unlike the older model, food groups are arranged in vertical bands, instead of horizontal ones. Band width indicates portion size. The wider the band, the more food from that group you should eat.
