If you haven’t already gotten to take a look at the new icon from the USDA, take a minute and check out http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ .   Last Thursday Michelle Obama unveiled the replacement to the food guide pyramid.   The new icon is a plate divided into four subdivisions designed to visually guide you in portioning protein, grains, fruits, vegetables, and dairy. The website http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ replaces the www.mypyramid.gov website and provides some simple guidelines along with the new plate icon.   On the home page you can see some guidelines on how to balance calories, suggestions on foods to increase, and suggestions on foods to decrease.   The website also allows you to look up a food in the ‘My food-a-pedia.’    You can learn more about food groups, look into weight loss, and even plan a healthy meal. What are my thoughts on the new icon? Well since you ask, I’d have to say I like it better as compared to the food guide pyramid....
