We no longer have a food pyramid, we have a plate. I kind of like it...how do you feel about it?

Now I will admit that I never really visited the website before, I searched it today since I knew we were going from a pyramid to something else, but I must say I kind of like the USDA's new Choose My Plate site. They have a Food-a-pedia that will let you search for a food and see the nutritional information, where it belongs on your plate and the serving size. Not a bad reference.

I personally think that the dairy group, which looks like it might be in a cup should be re-labeled to wine. I'm on to something here, I'm sure of it. What do you think?
I like that idea! OR count wine as a fruit :)
ReplyDeleteCarol, that's a great idea! I like your thinking!!
