Half Makes You Whole Logo from MyPlate.gov Website
Healthy eating benefits everyone. That’s why Military Produce Group (MPG) is a proud supporter of the USDA’s MyPlate initiative. MyPlate is an innovative and simple way to help promote healthy eating via an easy to interpret circular logo that showcases just how much of each food group people should include on their plate.
Originally, recommended nutrition from the USDA was based off the 1992 Food Guide Pyramid, which provided little to no room for customization based on lifestyle, dietary needs, preferences, or budget. MyPlate, which launched in 2011, is an innovative and updated program that seeks to modernize the Food Guide Pyramid and healthy eating experience by providing the latest resources, such as downloadable tools and templates, life stage guidelines for both adults and children, downloadable shopping and habit tracking/food goals apps, and featured recipes to help support healthy choices.
