This poster shows two tools, MyPlate and the Nutrition Facts Label, which both help individuals to shop, plan, and prepare meals in a more healthful and efficient manner.  This poster shows how easy it is to combine the 2 greatest tools, MyPlate and the Nutrition Facts Label. Knowledge is power and health literacy is the key to a better quality of life.

The Nutrition Facts Label

• Shopping is easy if you fill your cart like MyPlate! Fill half of it with fruits and vegetables and then fill the other half with whole grains and protein.
• Beware of misleading claims on food packages.
• Use the Nutrition Facts Label to read about the important attributes of a food product, including calories, portion sizes, fats, and fiber. Make better selections on all aisles of the store.

MyPlate

• MyPlate is the USDA icon that represents the best way to eat using food groups.
• MyPlate posters use attractive and vibrant illustrations to emphasize plenty of healthful options in each food group. These USDA my plate posters all have positive messages.
• Easy-to-read tips help individuals learn how to make healthy choices for Fruits, Vegetables, Lean Proteins and Whole Grains, and how to fill their plate the healthy way. Tips are given so dairy foods remain low in fat, sugar and sodium yet high in calcium.
• These posters for My Plate emphasize recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans that individuals need to eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, plus lean protein and low-fat/nonfat dairy products.
• This message is positive, easy to understand and a great visual.
• It also makes a great classroom poster plus it can be used as a school cafeteria poster.
• Ground-breaking strategies to engage your audience are organized by color, visual aesthetic, and information hierarchy.

• Our rich colors in all my plate posters stand out from the pack and they mix and match well together with all products in our store.
