Sorting Food Items

On Thursday, during nutrition class students identified various food items and discussed what food group each item belonged in. We have learned that there are 5 food groups:  fruits, vegetables, dairy, protein and grains. Some food items were easier to sort than others.  Students had to put on their “thinking caps” when sorting the following food items: tacos, mac ‘n cheese, pizza and lollipops.  What food group(s) do you think these food items go in?
