Government Releases MyPyramid to Stress Importance of Nutrition and Exercise

January 17, 2006by WPS Nurse Mary Specht

MyPyramid was introduced in 2005 as the new food guidance graphic to share the importance of individualized eating plans. Shortly after this was introduced, the government released MyPyramid for Kids to help share with children, ages 6-11, the importance of healthy food choices and daily physical activity. Explore MyPyramid with your family. Perhaps your family is ready and able to make some new choices that will help you eat better and exercise more. The MyPyramid.gov website is filled with some great ideas about nutrition learning.
