Bye-bye pyramid, hello plate: After almost two decades, the USDA food pyramid is history. First Lady Michelle Obama today unveiled the USDA's update on America's visual nutrition guide, replacing the familiar - and much maligned - pyramid with a plate. The food pyramid has been around since 1992, but nutrition experts don't seem to be mourning its demise. The new design incorporates a number of key dietary messages including Enjoy your food, but eat less. Avoid oversized portions. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables and compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals. To find out more about the new nutrition guide visit choosemyplate.gov
