Introducing the New Food Icon: MyPlate
Loading...
Uploaded by whitehouse on Jun 1, 2011
The Department of Agriculture introduces the new food icon, MyPlate, to replace the MyPyramid image as the government's primary food group symbol. An easy-to-understand visual cue to help consumers adopt healthy eating habits, MyPlate is consistent with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Why does DAIRY get its own section!?!?!?!?! If only it was replaced with WATER!!!!

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.

Track forward to 1:27...In summary...cereal, two bottles of unlabeled medication, coffee for children, and a clear line of sight to fruit in the middle of the table = good health.

Perhaps we should spend less time surfing the net and more time exercising:-)

I wonder how much it will cost taxpayers for the government to change the campaign from the pyramid to the plate? I could fill a pickup with the pyramid posters found in just one school. Millions? Billions? The kids finally got used to the pyramid...They will all need to be reprogrammed:-)

@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.
