The US government ditched its two-decade old ‘pyramid’ model for healthy eating and introduced a new plate symbol half-filled with fruits and vegetables to urge better eating habits.
The colourful design, called My Plate, was unveiled by First Lady Michelle Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
The plate icon is sectioned into four parts, with fruits and vegetables making up one half and grains and proteins filling the other half. A dairy drink is included alongside.
