MyPlate Remix



While researching industrial strength D-rings and carabiners this evening (hopefully I will get to show you why soon... :) I somehow found myself on the Precision Nutrition site reading an interesting article about the gov's new MyPlate food campaign. For those who aren't familiar with the MyPlate campaign it was the government's recent redux of the food pyramid (that cost lots and lots of money to do and somehow isn't all that different from the trusty pyramid).Precision Nutrition's writer John Berardi discusses the shortcomings of the MyPlate campaign and offers an alternative I happen to fully agree with... Check the article out for a more in depth look at the pros and cons (and potential reasons behind the government's selections), and use his handy re-dux of the MyPlate to guide your meals...
A few plates to ponder...

Note: to see them bigger check out the original article where they have a link to download a large version for print..
