Conclusions

    important factors contributing to an epidemic of
    overweight and obesity in this country. MyPlate
    is USDA's primary food group symbol, a food icon
    that serves as a powerful reminder to make
    healthy food choices and to build a healthy plate
    at mealtimes.
  • It is a visual cue that identifies the five (5)
    basic food groups from which consumers can choose
    healthy foods to build a healthy plate.  Visit
    the websiteChooseMyPlate.govwhich contains
    resources and tools for more specific information
    about what and how much to eat.
