"MyPlate can help prioritize food choices by reminding us to make half of our plate fruits and vegetables and shows us the other important food groups for a well-balanced meal: whole grains, lean proteins, and low fat dairy. "
I like the visual reminder to make healthy food choices and I think it's easy for the kiddos to understand as well.
Print it out and hang it in your kitchen where the kids can see. they can compare their plate of food to the new icon and see how they are doing-well, see how YOU are doing! I venture to guess that pretty soon they will be asking for more fruits and veggies so their plate looks like the one in the picture. Any excuse to correct mommy is a good excuse in my house!
Ooooo! I love that!!
