Did You Get the Message?
By Erin Horner |
|
1 Did you get the message? You didn't? Then it's a good thing you are reading this article! The USDA has a message for you. The people at the USDA want you to make good food choices so that your body can be healthy and strong. They've created MyPlate, a nutrition guide, to help you. There are three big things that they want you to remember. First, they want you to balance your food. Don't worry; they don't want you to balance a tray of food on your head! They want you to balance what you eat. The USDA wants you to eat and enjoy the foods that you like but eat less of them. This means avoiding extra large portions. Is it okay to have a few French fries? Absolutely! Should you supersize those greasy goodies? Probably not. |
