MyPlate<\/a> is the USDA food symbol that illustrates our five food groups into a familiar image for kids. It represents a place setting for a meal. These five food groups are the building blocks for a healthy diet and MyPlate helps by prompting consumers on how to build a healthier plate.<\/p>\n

We love this organization and everything they do to inspire healthy eating habits, so to celebrate National Nutrition Month for March, we want to show you a few of our favorite products.<\/p>\n
