In accordance with First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move Initiative and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, MyPlate replaces the MyPyramid image as the government's primary food group symbol. It is designed to remind Americans to eat healthfully using a familiar mealtime visual, a place setting.
"When mom or dad comes home from a long day of work, we're already asked to be a chef, a referee, a cleaning crew. So it's tough to be a nutritionist, too. But we do have time to take a look at our kid's plates. As long as they're half full of fruits and vegetables, and paired with lean proteins, whole grains and low-fat dairy, we're golden. That's how easy it is." - Michelle Obama
