Move over Food Pyramid, MyPlate has Arrived!



The USDA has redesigned the famous Food Pyramid and the result is...a plate!.  As you can see, this new visual is simplified, colorful, and kid friendly.  One of my favorite things about it is that it emphasizes portion control, one of countries biggest struggles when it comes to healthy eating.  I have added the website to my sidebar of helpful links (http://www.choosemyplate.gov/) so visit it and use all their great tools from creating a personalized plan, to looking up almost any food on their extensive database.

Also, check out "USDA Replaces Food Pyramid with a Plate" , an article from Delish.com, to learn more about it and to view my comment (username ashg247).
