What is the relationship between the Dietary Guidelines and USDAs MyPyramid.gov (Food Guidance System)?
The Dietary Guidelines are a foundation of MyPyramid.gov (Food Guidance System), which presents the science in a consumer-friendly form that helps people to be healthier by applying the science to their own lives. MyPyramid.gov updates the Food Guide Pyramid released in 1992. This new educational tool incorporates the updated 2005 Dietary Guidelines and makes recommendations on what and how much to eat.
