MyPyramid for Kids The newest tool in the Food Guidance System
The MyPyramid food guidance system
is the federal government's
newest tool for educating consumers about what to eat for optimal health.
The complementary MyPyramid
for Kids communicates to children ages 6-11 the dietary advice contained

the federal government's advice to consumers on what to eat, MyPyramid and
MyPyramid for Kids value cannot be overstated:
It will be widely referenced by government at federal, state and
local levels.
It will be widely publicized by media, health professionals, educators
and the food industry.
It will broadly impact federal policies, programs, budgets and activities
involving food and nutrition.
