Registered Dietitian, Melissa Halas-Liang, shows two students how some of their favorite meals can be both delicious and nutritious by using the USDA MyPlate guidelines. Key messages for each food group are explained while the dietary guidelines are applied to a variety of favorite foods like tacos, pizza, breakfast foods, and fun snacks.
The kitchen how-to segments are interspersed with interviews of real kids eating and talking about their favorite nutritious foods! MyPlate is the new USDA food symbol replacing the food guide pyramid.
