ChooseMyPlate.gov Offers a Guide to a Healthful & Varied Diet
The United States Department of Agriculture recently unveiled the federal government’s new food icon, MyPlate. The new icon is replacing the food pyramid icon used by the USDA since 1992. The new MyPlate icon focuses on a healthful diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy foods. The USDA encourages people to make sure half of their plate is covered in fruits and vegetables.
Along with the new icon, the USDA unveiled ChooseMyPlate.gov, a consumer website designed to help consumers, health professionals and the food industry build healthier diets.
Soy foods are a flexible part of a healthful diet and are included in three of the MyPlate sections.
