Where would pancakes be on the food pyramid?

Pancakes would not be included in the food pyramid as they are not a part of any of the food groups represented in the pyramid. The food pyramid is a visual representation of the types and proportions of foods people should eat to maintain good health. It was created by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1992. The food pyramid divides foods into six groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, oils and sugars, milk, and meat and beans.
