Which is an incorrect use of a food pyramid?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Assuming all food groups should be eaten in equal amounts
A food pyramid represents different food groups in different proportions; it does not prescribe equal quantities. Foods nearer the base are generally emphasized more, while foods near the top are limited. Thus it helps with balance, variety, and planning, but equal intake of every group is incorrect.
