No more Pyramid, now it's My Plate.

Here's the link to the USDA site: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/


I haven't read much feedback on this yet. I didn't have major issues with the Pyramid but I heard a LOT of negative feedback about it. I think they should've stuck with the old Food Groups. Kids understood that. Too late for that now.

There is a Food Groups page on the same site: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/foodgroups/index.html

From what I've seen, schools aren't teaching nutrition anyway. If you are trying to teach your kids about portion size and making choices at meal time, I love this plate. The USDA should've saved some money and just paid Amy (who makes that plate and runs the cute blog). :)
