The USDA came out with a new food pyramid about two years ago. This pyramid is a part of the Physical Education Reform program Rya and Josh are taking part in.
The food pyramid is part of every grades' curriculum, usually at the beginning of the year just to get a feel for what nutrition should be like.
While I am a fan of the pyramid, I think the diagram with the plates is much more useful and fun for the younger set to actually use.
Rya and Josh have actually shown interest in making their meals look like this plate. I would like to say I was the cause of this, but they've both been assigned this as homework. Whoever sticks to the diagram the most during their meals get "points" that they can use later to buy little prizes at school.
