Make a Happy and Healthy Plate with MyPlate!

MyPlate is a guide for eating healthy at each meal for all ages. By using this as a guide to choose foods that go on our plate, it can help improve food choices.

The taglines for MyPlate can serve as a reminder to the foods that should be included on our plates.
