Around the world in three square meals.

CANADA; CHINA

This article focuses on pictorial food guides from around the world. In Canada's rainbow, for instance, breads and cereals occupy the outermost and therefore longest curve of the arc. This band is coloured golden yellow to represent grain. Vegetables and fruit are next in green, followed by dairy in blue and meat in the diminutive, innermost red band. The Chinese, avid consumers of pork, have a similar proportion in their diets. This is despite the advice of the Food Guide Pagoda, which has grain in its foundation level, and fruit and vegetables just above it.
