Title: Plate icon to guide Americans to healthier eating
Summary: They believe this new plate icon could very well replace the food pyramid because it is easier to understand. They say half of your plate should be filled with fruits and vegetables, and whole grains and lean protein on the other half. There should also be low-fat dairy on the side. They believe this new display of eating healthy balanced meals could help with the high obesity rates.
