the first lady is not an elected official and has no right to dictate anything to the american people. meat is being taken off of school breakfast not as a health issue but to cut cost. it should be up to the parents working in co ordination with the school to determine what children eat at school not an unelected first lady in washington. yes kids should eat better but that is the parents concern, and nobody elses.

Here's my plate: Meat (nice fatty cuts) and dairy (especially real butter) (1/2), veggies (1/3), Limited fruits (~1/6 or less). I've never felt better. Skip the "low fat" crap.... why have we accepted the bs idea that you need to starve yourself to be healthy? Grains are bad (yes even "whole grains"). They metabolize into sugar almost directly and cause insulin spikes and weight gain. If you eat a higher fat, higher protein, low carb diet, you feel better and lose weight. Ain't that a bitch?
@ThatPinkFloydSound Try it lols. U think u need that crap but since you've never tried differently you cant judge. After eating healthy for a while even trying some high-fat shit makes you want to never eat that shit again. No one said eating healthy is untasty! Its even better if you actually try it. Of course a lot depends on the person. Some can eat loads of shit and stay fit, some get fat even eating healthy food. Its 50% genes, 50% food in my opinion.
If everyone in school gets a good amount of nutrition education, I don't think we need to learn how to eat healthy from the government. However, with all these education funding being cut, let's just hope that we will be able to keep PE classes at least.
I don't think it should be a war on the size of a person; it should be about health for all people. I am not sure if this will work becuase it still does not feed the American people healthy foods in healthy proportions. There is always going to be a problem untill the price of fresh foods goes down, fresh foods are fast and advertised more then fast food. Then we can become healthy no matter what size a perosn is in America.
I don't get why you guys want to see Michelle Obama's BMI- if you look at her you can already tell she is definitely not obese and looks decently fit. If anything, she's probably much more fit than a lot of you people here protesting this are.

@andrealaurenmunoz Glad you agree! The problem isn't the name though- there are plenty of sources of calcium in the protein and veggies categories (better sources than dairy, for sure). Dairy is only still included because of the industry's financial ties with our government. It should be dropped altogether!
lmao. totally lets you know how incompetent the government is. yes, lets replace the lame-o food pyramid with another lame-o and costly project while passing legislation that supports industrialized agriculture. there's a reason that soda and cheeseburger costs less than a bag of organic carrots. change and hope my ass. same as before.

Bravo, this is way better than the last set up. Thankful that there are so many plant proteins included. Still perturbed that dairy is its own category though. Sellouts.
@andrealaurenmunoz but with all the bovine growth hormones and estrogens in the US dairy, i'm not sure that's a good thing to promote. Unless its organic and who can afford that?
Give me a healthy food that tastes exactly like macaroni and cheese, and I'll eat it. How about one that tastes exactly like popcorn? The problem isn't "healthy" food verses "unhealthy" food - it's taste, taste, taste!
MyPyramid, MyPlate, blah blah blah. It should be called MyFatAss. Load up on bread, y'all! Don't even think about eating meat! If you want to be healthy, avoid this bullshit like plague.
As if the Pyramid was the problem. it wasn't that its difficult to understand what to eat, i would guess 99% of Americans know enough to eat more vegetables and less bread and meats to be healthier, but its the actual act of choosing healthier choices over McDonalds or fast food. replace fast food with an alternative, and that will make the difference.
@Thatcrazykidbrendan No, you're off a bit. Framing the issue as "healthy choice" vs "McDonald's" is a false dichotomy.
"More vegetables and less bread and meats"? Nonsense. It depends when and under which circumstances these are consumed. In any case, the USDA has been telling people to load up on bread for years.
The whole USDA Dietary Guidelines project is misguided.
@Thatcrazykidbrendan grains are needed more because they have more carbs because people are suppose to exercise, but i doubt you know what exercise is, get off your scooter and go for a walk.
@DJDancinRick in case you didnt know, eating healthy AND excersize is the key to being healthy, not eating a bunch of carbs and excersizing. unless you are an athlete that does strenuous activities for a long period of time, then you do not need extra carbs, say more bread then vegetables, you would just need a normal diet which includes having plenty of vegetables and less bread and carbs. Stick to that diet of more bread then vegetables and ill see you on the scooter in a few years.
@DJDancinRick US grains are laced with roundup - the US had to force other countries to import it cuz they can't get rid of it. Roundup was never even approved by the EPA yet we're all ingesting it. It's killing everyone.
@MrFoxhunterman That's amazing, I'm a farmer and the grains that are produced from Roundup are perfectly healthy. Don't try and spread fear and lies when you don't have any truth behind your statement. RR2Y (Roundup Ready 2 Yield) is what most grains are going to use in the future which is going to produce a higher yield while making the grain even safer. Don't knock the farmers because you and I both know if we go on strike, the country won't be able to feed people and animals.
@DJDancinRick Perfectly healthy. Yup. So you're with the *farmer's union*? Go on strike - wtf, everyone else is. Frankly, most people can grow their own food if forced to, regardless of what laws the Federal Government has tried to pass to prevent it. But don't think for one moment you (or they) are going to force feed poison down our throats. Been happening, but isn't gonna happen much longer, my friend.
I don't think the USDA is trying to control how you eat, that's up to you. You can eat however you like just know the consequences of all the bad foods you eat. Remember you are what you eat. I remember when I was over weight, that saying couldn't have been more true. When you eat sh-t you feel like sh-t, I lost 60 lbs and I feel great and I did it on my own!. I feel great and now I control what I eat.
@honeegrrl: au contraire ~ they already want to penalize "naughty food" w/higher taxes (chips, soda, etc), just as they recently did w/indoor tanning.
Some cities have already begun. When there's penalties on sodas, what about juice with a lot of sugar? Candy? Muffins? If they'll impose a penalty tax on chips, why not other foods w/similar nutritional values? Hey, we'll just form a panel of experts creating more & more layers of Govt! What a pathetic quagmire
If that plate were Barack's, it would be hamburger and fries with ice cream. Moochelle would be yelling at him for eating that kind of food instead of the roots and bark she probably feeds him at home.
@truthforamerica I"m sure he doesn't eat like that all the time, if he did he would be as big as a house. It's okay to have junk food once in a while. I lost 60 lbs and I don't deprive myself of my favorite foods but I also eat very healthy too. It's all about moderation. Even my doctor told me this. You can still eat your favorite foods just don't eat them too much. I'm sure G. Bush Jr., G. Bush Sr., B. Clinton have all eaten junk food too.
It is unbelievable. What is there not to like about this? The US smoking rate dropped when we started educating our kids, saving potentially million in health care cost. Hopefully we can do the same with eating habits.
Oh, kind of how they thought it was a great idea to tell americans to eat more concentrated carbohydrates? Or how they thought they could consider a couple packets of ketchup as a serving of fruit? Or how about convincing americans that hydrogenated vegetable oils is better for you than butter?
Truly the list of ignorant government ideas that end up do more harm than help is endless. Only brainless zombies listen to a word these "experts" spew.
Thank god I live in a country where smart people can take time to teach me how I should live and what I should eat. I really thought eating chocolate and McDonalds every meal was the only way you could go with it but I was wrong.
soooo, why isn't the Department of Health making this instead of the department of agriculture - is it just me, because I would rather take health information from a Doctor, than a farmer...just saying
I love reading the comments protesting this... It's a guideline to help educate people, they aren't trying to run your lives. It's no wonder why there are so many obese people in America.
@BizzMarki "they aren't trying to run your lives" Uh yes they are. You realize that laws controlling the content of food get passed all the time right? That is the very definition of trying to run everyone's lives numb-nuts.
@BizzMarki because of people like you that this country is bankrupt. I have a good idea, how about you volunteer to donate Omaba 2 million dollars to help educate people instead of using my and other peoples' tax money. If you really want to be sympathy and all of that crap, squeeze your pocket out, don't make us pay for that too
@IIrond It's because of uneducated people like you that America is falling behind the rest of the world... If you understood anything about economics and cost/benefit you would realize $2million is relatively very small spending on a national scale. Do you even have a clue how many $millions, possibly $billions are being wasted on the cost obese people have on the healthcare system? If people actually started making healthier choices because of this it would actually have a postive net effect
@BizzMarki: I think what you're missing, at least in my view, is that this new "plate" in no way informs the public about portions/food types/servings than the pyramid did. In fact, a lot less so.
-The portions of food groups on the plate look similar in size.
-Per meal, per day?
-Where are number of servings per day like those that were on the pyramid?
Therefore, I don't care if it was $200. It's a waste of money & provides nothing of value ~ except to say, "Michelle did something".
@BizzMarki I agree that is all true. But why is the goverment wstingime telling us what to eat? We know whats good for us, but some choose to eat badly. Instead they should be talking and doing something about America's rising debt and prices on everything. Now that's something they sould be working none stop to fix/control/over come, not tellingus what we already know.
I like the colored plate. It's great for kids visuals. But, . . . let's focus on omitting preservatives, GMO's and pestisides from our plates Mr. Vilsack, otherwise this is a waste of time.
stop genetically modifying our food...get rid of bid business corn industry, and give a break to the organic farmers....THIS will help. That plate diagram will do nothing if it is still filled with processed crap sponsored by the US government.

Joel 3 1For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Yisrayl, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. 3And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink
I find it amuseing that a guy with Fat cheeks and a flabby neck is telling us what to eat. Really?? Practice what you preach before telling others how "They should eat".
@SharkDude1@SharkDude1 its a guideline Its not telling anyone that this is how they have to eat but how they can gain benefits from eating a certain way! an older guy who as you say has a "flabby neck" could be from weight loss or in some cases people just have that extra skin! you shouldn't be so judgmental and rude. Some very healthy people are not a size 2-and are bigger built in structure-Guidelines do not need to be followed so dont be rude about something you dont have to follow..
Too many tasteless vegetables and this stupid plate is missing desert, unless ice cream counts for dairy...
I and all Americans know what's good, and what's not as good to eat, so Big Gov't can just piss off and stop wasting our tax payer monies. The pyramid already exists and works fine; why the hell change?
@ecuadoreandog Hmm, assumptions... I swim 2 hours, or about 4 miles a day, eat what I want and drink regular soda with real sugar; screw aspartame, etc. Also, a "stinky Republican", and I'm a conservative 1st, Republican 2nd, cannot smell worse than an Ecuadorian mongrel whipped into submission by the cane of the idiotic left. Try to smarten up and recognize that Gov't should have no role in personal dietary plannings. If I want to die maybe a year or two sooner, so be it. I'll enjoy my food.
@ForceSmart apparently you and all Americans don't know what's good for you because all of you redneck southern Republicans are obese! congrats. actually maybe we should just let you eat whatever the fuck you want and maybe you fat asses will die off because of type II Diabetes!
This was another flat out waste of money and dumb as hell. I'd like to shove the plate up their ass. 2 million dollars for that. I'm guessing 1.99 of it went in somebodies pocket. Doesn't change anything and you just want people to load up on carbs and fruit sugar while they sit around playing Xbox or something.
TSNorm = this is epic fail dumb democrat edicted sheer stupidity 101! Just shows that there are too many government-grifters in the government offices. To have sat around and re-invented something that WA$ ALREADY THERE! And this paper-plate-ploy? Only in owebummer world would they re-invent the wheel. Bill the tax payers MO MONEY! And call that "good" .......
But you say nothing about the dangerous dairy you want us to put on those plates that many of us are finding it difficult to fill to start with. Your plate de jour is BS with a capital B and where are the changes to how we grow the food, raise the protein or even how this is all so badly managed in a delivery system of costs that net you neither a healthy standard of living or a source of food?. So balance the budget, let me worry about what to put on my own plate please. Nanny Freaks!
And the most important part of your daily lives. Eat more vegatables and fruits often than delay too long and better than eating junk foods more. Because of your health need strengths, is from natural foods as vegatables and fruits alway. One thing, I do not eat meat too.
Wow. is there ever a lot of fatties on here complaining about someone going out of their way to help them be less ignorant when it comes to dietary choices. Looks great on y'all. That attitude is what had gotten two thirds of the adults to be obese in the greatest country in the world.
"Calcium choices for those who do not consume dairy products include: Calcium fortified juices, cereals, breads, rice milk, or almond milk; Canned fish (sardines, salmon with bones) soybeans and other soy products (tofu made with calcium sulfate, soy yogurt, tempeh), some other beans, and some leafy greens (collard and turnip greens, kale, bok choy). The amount of calcium that can be absorbed from these foods varies." Why did they choose to label it as dairy instead of calcium?
@Forlorn79 I would guess because the Department of Agriculture supports the Dairy industry. They may care about informing people on a healthy diet, but the bottom line is still money.
As a teacher who has been referring to the pyramid for years, I have experienced first hand the confusion children have had with grasping the relationship between the pyramid and what they should be eating. I think this is definitely a step in the right direction, at least in terms of working with kids. The family scene eating soup out of a bowl doesn't make sense with this promotion-Or is that a beef stew with veggies and whole wheat noodles? Are those two vitamin bottles on the table? Oops.
The thing about the pyramids was that they gave more accurate representations about what portion of your food intake should be made up of what food groups, whereas this plate seems to give little more than relative indication. Would've been better had they just divvied it up like a pie chart.. Also, slap some percentages on that plate, Christ. Must be considered to read because it doesn't provide any real information.
The greater importance of vegetables and lesser presence of grains in MyPlate is excellent. We really do need to eat more veggies and fruits than we do, and cut back on the stuff we weren't mean to eat, like grains and dairy.
way to heaven, Is only through Jesus christ. Ask Jesus into heart and be ready for his coming! prepare the people for Jesus. Share faith in Jesus with others.
While choosemyplate.gov may not be the most informative website, at least they are trying to help. For anyone genuinely looking to improve his/her diet, I recommend whfoods.com/foodstoc.php -- a hugely informative website that also offers recipes.
@NiteAngel Organic Is a lie There is no such thing, It's just marketing and slogan ...Just stay away from Ingredient's you can pronounce is probably the best advice
I support this and think the critics need to get a grip. Why anyone would argue over things that will make you healthier and happier in the long run, I have no idea. Get over yourselves and stop buy fast food! I mean is America really that sick in the head that they enjoy being fat and miserable? Come on! We can do better! It's your life friends, you only get one. If you won't fight for it, then who will?
Assassinating Americans, Illegal Search/Seizure, FBI Sneak/Peek, Warrantless Wiretaps, Secret Rendition, Torture of Suspects and Whistleblowers (Manning), Gitmo, Indefinite Detention even after acquittal, using Depleted Uranium on Civilians & US Troops, Wall St. Bailout and Foreign Banks like Libya, Increased Military, Internet Kill Switch, Higher Taxes, Medicaid Cuts, Signing Statements, Bypassing Congress, War Crimes, etc
Jesus is lord, our lives are gone in blink of eye. Jesus is amazing god, let him shine his mercy and love into your lives. Let Jesus fix your life. Ask him and make him number 1. Gospel of Jesus christ will save your soul. Everyone needs to know Jesus.
@bass109 Hey nutburger, this is no place for your pseudo-Fred Phelps proselytizing. This is a video informing people about the new nutrition standards being set by the USDA.
Jesus will be with you all forever, anywhere you go. Jesus will deliver you. Make him number 1. Jesus is blessing, his mercy endless, seek his love and mercy. Let lord change your lives. Jesus love you all, walk in spirit and truth.
personal relationship with Jesus will get you into heaven. Make that relationship grow everyday. God love you all in Jesus. talk to lord, praise lord, thank the lord, Jesus is with you forever.
Great idea, but too much grain on that plate. I use basically the Zone. 3-6 oz of protein then the rest vegetables. Portion control is KEY. Fruit is restricted because of the sugar intake, but it's natural sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup. And addressing corn - the corn industry has screwed us all up, and whether corn is considered a grain or a vegetable, I've pretty much removed it from m diet in protest. And I want Michael Pollan to be Agriculture Secretary.
I never really found anything wrong with the pyramid but this is certainly a step in the right direction. And hey offering an easy site for information about healthy foods couldn't hurt.
after f**king everybody up for the past 30 years now they feel sympathy towards eating healthy! couldn't the government do this 30 years earlier! what a joke!
@AXHEJAZ Yea, there's lots the government could have done 30 years ago like regulate the financial industry more to prevent the last economy meltdown, promote education, promote manufacturing in the US and promote green tech. But it didn't. So it has to do it now. Also, epidemiological research takes time to confirm and reconfirm that obesity trends are rising and that obesity correlates with negative health outcomes. Then you have to get the government to do something which is another story.
Why does DAIRY get its own section!?!?!?!?! If only it was replaced with WATER!!!!

MyPyramid, MyPlate, blah blah blah. It should be called MyFatAss. Load up on bread, y'all! Don't even think about eating meat! If you want to be healthy, avoid this bullshit like plague.
JackBlair2 8 months ago
As if the Pyramid was the problem. it wasn't that its difficult to understand what to eat, i would guess 99% of Americans know enough to eat more vegetables and less bread and meats to be healthier, but its the actual act of choosing healthier choices over McDonalds or fast food. replace fast food with an alternative, and that will make the difference.

@Thatcrazykidbrendan No, you're off a bit. Framing the issue as "healthy choice" vs "McDonald's" is a false dichotomy.
"More vegetables and less bread and meats"? Nonsense. It depends when and under which circumstances these are consumed. In any case, the USDA has been telling people to load up on bread for years.
The whole USDA Dietary Guidelines project is misguided.

@JackBlair2 there is no way bread can be considered a healthier choice then vegetables. bread has plenty of carbs and less vitamins then vegetables.

@DJDancinRick in case you didnt know, eating healthy AND excersize is the key to being healthy, not eating a bunch of carbs and excersizing. unless you are an athlete that does strenuous activities for a long period of time, then you do not need extra carbs, say more bread then vegetables, you would just need a normal diet which includes having plenty of vegetables and less bread and carbs. Stick to that diet of more bread then vegetables and ill see you on the scooter in a few years.

@DJDancinRick US grains are laced with roundup - the US had to force other countries to import it cuz they can't get rid of it. Roundup was never even approved by the EPA yet we're all ingesting it. It's killing everyone.

@MrFoxhunterman That's amazing, I'm a farmer and the grains that are produced from Roundup are perfectly healthy. Don't try and spread fear and lies when you don't have any truth behind your statement. RR2Y (Roundup Ready 2 Yield) is what most grains are going to use in the future which is going to produce a higher yield while making the grain even safer. Don't knock the farmers because you and I both know if we go on strike, the country won't be able to feed people and animals.

@BizzMarki: I think what you're missing, at least in my view, is that this new "plate" in no way informs the public about portions/food types/servings than the pyramid did. In fact, a lot less so.
-The portions of food groups on the plate look similar in size.
-Per meal, per day?
-Where are number of servings per day like those that were on the pyramid?
Therefore, I don't care if it was $200. It's a waste of money & provides nothing of value ~ except to say, "Michelle did something".

The thing about the pyramids was that they gave more accurate representations about what portion of your food intake should be made up of what food groups, whereas this plate seems to give little more than relative indication. Would've been better had they just divvied it up like a pie chart.. Also, slap some percentages on that plate, Christ. Must be considered to read because it doesn't provide any real information.

Great idea, but too much grain on that plate. I use basically the Zone. 3-6 oz of protein then the rest vegetables. Portion control is KEY. Fruit is restricted because of the sugar intake, but it's natural sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup. And addressing corn - the corn industry has screwed us all up, and whether corn is considered a grain or a vegetable, I've pretty much removed it from m diet in protest. And I want Michael Pollan to be Agriculture Secretary.
