The New MyPlate

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Boy, are we glad the pyramid is gone. That thing was more confusing than taxes. In its place, the simple and easy-to-understand MyPlate.

New MyPlate from the USDA

Additional recommendations from the USDA:

  • Watch your portion sizes.
  • Pay attention to sodium content and choose lower-sodium foods.
  • Drink water instead of sugary drinks.

Boy, all this sounds familiar. I think someone at the USDA got their hands on a copy of The Diet Joke and realized we were onto something. Well, no credit needed. We’re just happy to see the improvement.
