We need food everyday to grow, be active, and stay healthy. Our bodies require a range of different types of foods including fruits and vegetables, breads and cereals, dairy, and proteins like meat and eggs. Eating a variety of nutritious foods provides our bodies with what they need to develop properly, have energy for activities, and overall health.
