USDA officials have said the old ‘My Pyramid’ was too complex and did not give people an easy way to compare their meals to the ideal balance recommended.
“My Plate” promotes fruits and vegetables, which cover half the circle. Grains occupy an additional quarter, as do proteins such as meat, fish and poultry. A glass of milk rests to the side. Desserts have been banished to the desert.
