Michelle Obama recently unveiled the replacement for the food pyramid. Basically it is this:
She is quoted as saying:
"Parents don't have the time to measure out exactly three ounces of chicken or to look up how much rice or broccoli is in a serving. ... But we do have time to take a look at our kids' plates. ... And as long as they're eating proper portions, as long as half of their meal is fruits and vegetables alongside their lean proteins, whole grains and low-fat dairy, then we're good. It's as simple as that."
As of now if you were to replace the protein section with Sugars and fats and add
an extra cup for my soda that would look like my plate.
So here is the goal: I am going to test out the "My Plate" method for two weeks.
If I lose weight and/or feel a difference in energy or overall health, I will vote for Obama.
If I don't I will see if Newt Gingrich still has staff openings.
I'll let you know how it goes!
