What are the government Guidelines For Healthy Eating?

I doing a course on NVQ2 Childcare, learning and development and i need to find out the answer to this question and the following

What are the basic nutritional needs for children ?

Any good websites i will be grateful x

The official government line about healthy eating is summed up in the Food Pyramid.

Take that with a grain of salt tho. Government guidelines are partially the result of pressure from various industry groups each blowing their own horns.

An example is the big emphasis on dairy products, specifically milk. There is no reason for this other than pressure from the dairy industry. Another is the statement "make half your grains whole." Why not "make all your grains whole?"
