My Plate

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

It certainly makes sense having the food groups depicted on a plate instead of a pyramid...much easier to relate to.

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?
