The document discusses the Eatwell Plate, which is a visual guide for healthy eating. It divides foods into 5 groups: fruits and vegetables; breads, rice and potatoes; dairy; proteins; and foods high in fat and sugar. The plate shows the recommended proportions of each food group that should make up a healthy diet, with the largest sections being fruits and vegetables and breads, rice and potatoes. It provides a simple way to understand balanced nutrition, especially for children.
