A neat lesso plan using Bernstein Bears and Too Much Junk Food is offered at this site. This site also offers links to other great nutrition sites and lessons.

Suggested activities for teachers on nutrition, some are on old food pyramid, but could be modified.  Activities for second and fourth graders, but many could be modified easily for other grades.
