The purpose of a food selection model is to provide consumers with a visual guide for choosing food that provides healthy options, and it also helps find foods that prevent diet-related diseases. The food selection model is presented in a plate/pie chart, and the foods are classified in groups such as grain, vegetables, fruits, dairy, lean meats, and also sometimes foods and small amounts of food things like oil. One strength of the food selection model is that it shows what you should be eating in large amounts and what you should be eating in small amounts. One limitation of the food selection model is that the print isn't that easy to read, but overall, it is a very good thing for people to go by because of all the good options for eating healthy.
