New Pyramid!!

I like colorful charts... Especially ones that look like plates!!

http://www.choosemyplate.gov/

They have some good advice:

"Enjoy your food, but eat less"
"Drink water instead of sugary drinks"

Here is where they break it down for us to better understand their pretty plate

This is confusing, "Vary your veggies"??? It should say "Eat as many veggies as one could possibly consume in a 12 hr period!" 

The picture of calcium rich foods should also include some vegetables... There are plenty of other calcium sources aside from dairy. Here is a very compiled list. http://soystache.com/calcium.htm
