Pyramid tossed, dinner plate is new U.S. meals plan http://ppt.cc/aaVt

(Reuters) - The pyramid guide to healthy eating that many Americans grew up
with has been scrapped, and in its place the Obama administration is serving
a dinner plate icon sliced up by food groups.
The new guide, MyPlate, encourages Americans to make half of their
fruit and vegetables as part of a balanced diet.
"When it comes to eating, what's more useful than a plate? What's more simple
than a plate?" first lady Michelle Obama said on Thursday at the unveiling at
the Department of Agriculture.
"This is a quick, simple reminder for all of us to be more mindful of the
foods that we're eating," she said.
MyPlate, which includes colored sections for grains and proteins and a dairy
cup beside it, is part of the administration's push to encourage healthy
habits.一餐包括一半蔬菜水果 一半穀類蛋白質
Dietary guidelines released in January told Americans to eat more produce and
cut salt and fat, and the first lady has led a push to tackle obesity with
her "Let's Move" initiative.減鹽減油
Food industry groups rushed to praise the new guide, which will replace the
well-known food pyramid in classrooms, and will be used as part of federal
food programs as well as by doctors and nurses.
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association said in a statement that lean beef
could meet the protein recommendation. Grains groups praised suggestions that
Americans eat more whole grains.
"This easy-to-understand illustration will help people remember what their
own plate should look like," Margo Wootan, nutrition policy director at the
Center for Science in the Public Interest, said in a statement.
"It likely will shock most people into recognizing that they need to eat a
heck of a lot more vegetables and fruits."
REPLACING THE PYRAMID
The well-known pyramid -- which was first introduced in 1992 and stacked
foods by suggested number of servings -- was widely criticized. Nutritionists
said it encouraged too many servings of grains, and producers said the
bottom-up ranking discouraged Americans from buying foods at the top of the
pyramid.
The 2005 MyPyramid replaced the hierarchy with vertical stripes correlating
to recommended servings and an online program that let users develop a food
plan. Health professionals found that complicated and difficult to teach.
MyPlate keeps the online tools for personal eating plans, now located at
www.choosemyplate.gov, replacing the pyramid with a visual similar to those
used by the American Diabetes Association and the Physicians Committee for
Responsible Medicine.
"I'm supposed to be able to grab that pyramid and go into a lecture and teach
a group of people how to eat. In the past, it's not been very effective,"
said Kathryn Strong, a dietitian with the physicians group.
"If you're looking at a plate, that's something you can directly translate to
whatever you're about to eat."

「我的擺盤」包含每餐必須攝取各式種類榖物及蛋白質，另外每天加上1份奶製品，此為
歐巴馬政府力行推廣健康飲食習慣的一部分。
著名的食物金字塔在1992年推出，由各類食物建議攝取量分層。不過該指標廣受批評，一
