Recently, MyPlate icons were posted in the
cafeterias of Crenshaw County. This USDA food guidance system is
comprised of the new MyPlate symbol and other materials to help Americans make
healthy food choices and to be active every day. MyPlate is part of a larger
communications initiative based on 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
to help consumers make better food choices. MyPlate is designed to
remind Americans to eat healthfully; it is not intended to change consumer
behavior alone. MyPlate illustrates the five food groups using a familiar
mealtime visual, a place setting. For more information, click on: Choose My Plate.
