ChooseMyPlate.gov

We are so familiar with our food pyramid, grains, fruits and veggies, meat/dairy, and other sources all next to each other. This pyramid is an old news. Since 2001, the U.S. government has been promoting ChooseMyPlate.gov as the pyramid's replacement, and, truth to be told, it is simpler than the pyramid. The official logo of MyPlate is a plate divided into four sections: grains, fruits, veggies, and protein with a smaller portion for dairy (please see below for the picture). The website provides a lot of information and applications to help people reach their goal of eating better and/or losing weight. Check out the new site at ChooseMyPlate.gov!
