  "When the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture brought out its new food guide
  pyramid, at least one group felt left out: vegetarians. A nutrition
  expert from New York Medical College has now remedied the problem.
  
  "Arlene Spark, Ph.D., clinical assc. prof. of nutrition, developed a
  pyramid that helps nonmeat eaters build a healthful diet. Her pyramid
  matches the USDA version in overall organization, but it offers
  substitutes for the meat/fish group and for the dairy group. In
  addition, the veg. pyramid includes special recommendations for
  vegans....These recommendations ensure that vegans obtain all needed
  nutrients."
  
  Top portion of pyramid: "Vegans Must Consume Daily" veg. oil (3-5
  tsp) and Blackstrap molasses (1 tbs.) and Brewer's yeast (1 tbs.)
  
  2nd portion: "Milk and Milk Substitutes Group" milk, yogurt, cheese
  and fortified soy milk (with added calcium, vitamins B12 and D) (2-4
  servings)
  
  "Meat/Fish Substitutes Group" dry beans, nuts, seeds, peanut butter,
  tofu, and eggs (2-3 servings)
  
  3rd portion:  "Vegetable Group" 3+ servings
  
  "Fruit Group" 2-4 servings
  
  4th portion (bottom of pyramid): "Grains and Starchy Vegetables Group"
  bread, cereal, rice, pasta, corn, potatoes, and green peas (6-11
  servings)
