                                The USDA launched MyPlate in 2011 to provide clear, actionable guidance for creating healthier meals. This visual food guide replaced the Food Pyramid and has since been accompanied by a series of consumer-friendly messages designed to help Americans understand and apply the principles of healthy eating to their daily lives.
