The+food+circle-History

 The first system of food circle was introduced in the USA 1916. The different kinds of food were divided into five groups: - Milk, egg, fish and meat - Bread and cereal products - Butter and edible fat - Vegetables and fruit - Sweets This system was used to 1941, when the first nutrition recommendation, Recommended Dietary Allowances, RDA was released. But there were some recommended details about energy and nutrients of the RDA-type that were too difficult to follow. One year later, a new illustrated system of dietary advice replaced the old one. - Milk - Meat and fish - Egg - Leafy vegetables - Cereals - Fat  Egg, fish and meat were soon put into the same group and “The Basic 7” was developed, a future model for the Swedish food circle. The first official food circle model was introduced 1963, after the Swedish institute for the healthcare had investigated the question about what model was the best for Sweden´s condition. The public food circle was used until 1979. 1991 we changed namn to Food circle and it stood for that you have to eat healty and varying food.
