Good info Mom. I didn't know the pyramid changed, and I like this new plate version better. I'm going to post this picture on my fridge right now.

I don't know if I like the pyramid better, or the plate. What I do know is that I like to eat, and sometimes eat the wrong things. If this helps us do better, than we'll be better off for it.
