Blog #6: Which level of a food pyramid is the most important? Support your answer

                 
                       I think that dairy is the most important level because it gives you your calcium. Calcium makes our bones strong and healthy as well as our teeth.   Milk or other dairy products are the richest sources of calcium which is why you should drink it everyday. They also contain other vitamins and minerals, as well as protein.  Some dairy products can be high in fat, but there are plenty of lower fat options you can choose, or you could have just a small amount of the high-fat varieties.  Other sources of calcium include fortified breakfast cereal, soy beans, tofu, soy drinks with added calcium, dried figs, okra, curly kale, rice pudding and baked beans.
