Based on science Based on Dietary Guidelines Focuses on food Created by Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion of the USDA MyPyramid

Important Components: 

Important Components Activity Moderation Personalization Proportionality Variety Gradual Improvement

Message: Variety :

Message: Proportionality Differing widths of the color bands suggest about how much food should be eaten from each group

Message: Moderation: 

Message: Moderation Food group bands narrow from bottom to top suggesting to eat nutrient-dense forms of foods

Message: Physical Activity:

Additional Messages in the MyPyramid Graphic To foster implementation: 

Additional Messages in the MyPyramid Graphic To foster implementation Personalization: The name “MyPyramid” suggests an individual approach The person climbing the steps mentally links each viewer to the image Gradual Improvement: The slogan “Steps to a Healthier You” suggests that improvement should happen in stages, over time

Reasons for Revising— Updating the Science: 

Reasons for Revising— Updating the Science To ensure that the guidance reflects the latest nutrition science: New nutrient standards called the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) New Dietary Guidelines Food consumption and composition data

Reasons for Revising— Improving Implementation: 

Reasons for Revising— Improving Implementation To improve the Pyramid’s effectiveness with consumers: Motivational tools—new graphic and slogan Educational tools—education framework, consumer messages, website, and interactive tools
