In a press release, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack added, “… our MyPlate symbol is a simple reminder to think before we eat.”
The USDA has teamed up with more than 6,000 MyPlate Community and National Strategic Partners in this effort, and they are all committed to promoting the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which politely said you’re all getting a bit too fat and perhaps you should consider not eating so much.
