On September 28, 2005, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns made public the new MyPyramid for Kids, a child-friendly version of the new MyPyramid Food Guidance System released earlier this year.
MyPyramid for Kids includes age-appropriate information about the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPyramid, such as recommended proportion of food from each food group and the importance of making smart food choices and being physically active each day. Interactive computer games, lesson plans, posters, worksheets, and tips for parents are among the supplemental materials for MyPyramid.
The MyPyramid for Kids slogan is “Eat Right. Exercise. Have Fun.”
