Food Pyramid

Everyone knows the food pyramid exists ... here is our original old fashion Pyramid!Here is the new one they came up with not too long ago because people were saying that the original was confusing. And it added the physical activity component, which seemed good but still confusing for people!

So today a NEW pyramid was unveiled on CNN! This food pyramid has been dismantled in favor of a simple plate icon that urges Americans to eat a more plant-based diet.

I think it has some good things...
Good for visual people.
Good actual visualization about what we should actual be eating!
Backed by Michelle Obama (you know that is going to help)!
But I also see some concerns!
What if people don't eat off a plate every meal?
Unless you go to the website you don't really get actual portions.
And what plate size are they basing this off of?

What do you think?!
