outdated,
This review is from: Health Education: Elementary and Middle School Applications with PowerWeb Bind-in Passcard (Paperback)
I purchased this book for a health class I was taking at the University of Houston. I went for this one because it was much cheaper than the newer editions, but a lot of it was outdated. It still shows the old pyramid representing the food groups, even thought that has been replaced for several years.
