The colored sections stand for the food groups and how much you need from each group. Orange is much wider than yellow because you need plenty of grains each day, but should limit how much oil/fat you have. The reason why all these colors are there is because you need to choose a variety of foods from each group. Don’t forget about red just because you love purple foods! Finally, the figure going up the steps is a reminder to get regular exercise.
Orange = Grains
Green = Vegetables
Red = Fruits
Yellow = Oils and fats
Blue = Dairy
Purple = Meats, beans, fish, poultry
