Goodbye Pyramid...Hello Plate
The USDA has ditched the food pyramid and switched to a new symbol to encourage healthy eating: a colorful plate called MyPlate. The message is similar to that of the food pyramid: eat a variety of foods, with more emphasis some foods than others. Diet and nutrition tips for years have suggested filling half your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables and now the government is in agreement.
