Resources
Team Nutrition is
making the MyPlate materials and graphics available
for download, as they become available. Educators may
continue to use the
MyPyramid materials and resources for their
nutrition education efforts until revised materials are made
available.
MyPlate
is a new generation icon with
the intent to prompt consumers to think about building a
healthy plate at meal times and to seek more information to
from
www.ChooseMyPlate.gov. The new MyPlate icon emphasizes the fruit,
vegetable, grains, protein and
dairy food groups.
In an effort to create
cohesion among federal agencies
and promote positive nutrition
behaviors to consumers, the
communications initiative will
support the
2010 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans
with consumer relevant themes
and easy-to-understand,
action-oriented messages.
