MyPlate's first anniversary
A USDA
griculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan joined local offi cials, parents, children and partners to celebrate the fi rst anniversary of the MyPlate food icon and to highlight MiPlato, USDA's Spanish-language food icon for MyPlate.
Merrigan visited Orlando's Caribbean Supercenter, a family-owned business committed to community involvement, to announce a MyPlate Community Partnership with the store. In just its fi rst year, MyPlate has struck more than 6,000 such partnerships with small businesses and community organizations to help reach consumers with information on meaningful, sustainable, healthy dietary changes based on the
Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In June 2011, First Lady Michelle Obama and Agriculture
Secretary Tom Vilsack unveiled MyPlate, the federal government's primary food group symbol, to serve as a reminder to help consumers make healthy food choices. MyPlate is a new generation icon with the intent to prompt consumers to think about building a healthy plate at meal times and to seek more information to help them do that by going to www.ChooseMyPlate.gov. MyPlate's simple recommendations—like 'Make half your plate fruits and vegetables'—is resonating. Since it was released, there have been over 7 million downloads of MyPlate graphics and other materials.
