Introducing the New Food Icon: MyPlate

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.

Drop the grains, replace grains them with natural fats, don't drink milk drink water instead, reduce the fruit, increase the meat (with fat) and veg, maybe have some real/natural cheese/yogurt and nuts.

No processed food, no fast foods, no sugar, no grains, walk daily,

BAM! the obesity and sickness is gone

Hello ! Thank you, yes thank you for the french children.

Je continue en français. Merci pour tous les enfants du Monde qui aiment manger,

grignoter à n'importe quelle heure. Si la Première Dame donne des conseils, le plus souvent ces derniers seront suivis. Certaines personnes trouvent que ce n'es pas votre rôle, moi je dis que si. Cela montre que vous vous préoccupez de la santé, de vos concitoyens. BRAVO MADAME OBAMA.

the parents do have a choice there is something called the pta and the school board both of which must listen to the parents concerns. the first lady is not an elected official and has no business having any input into our governmental process. period so no she has no right to dictate to the american parents wht their kids eat at school after the parents and society are the ones footing the bills.
