It features selected messages to help consumer focus on key behaviors.
Selected messages include: o Balancing Calories Enjoy your food, but eat less.
Avoid oversized portions. o Foods to Increase Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
Make at least half your grains whole grains.
Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk. o Foods to Reduce Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals—and choose foods with lower numbers.
Drink water instead of sugary drinks. ChooseMyPlate.gov includes much of the consumer and professional information for-merly found on MyPyramid.gov.
