Goodbye Food Pyramid, Hello MyPlate.

As many of you know, the infamous Food Pyramid has been replaced with a new icon, MyPlate. This visual of a plate is meant to make nutrition messages easier to communicate. Students are visual learners, and our posters and banners are the visual tools needed for health education messaging. Students experience a constant barrage of unhealthy messages in the media. These educational posters are essential tools in the classrooms. These tools are an effective way for you to positively impact your students.
