MyPyramid.gov provides consumers with practical nutrition information at their fingertips.

The plan for the USDA MyPyramid Food Guidance System included a new graphic and slogan, clear and concise nutrition messages, and a variety of materials and tools to help motivate and educate consumers to follow a healthful diet. Given the widespread availability of the Internet in homes and through schools and public libraries, and the Internet’s ability to deliver quantities of information efficiently, it was decided to use the Internet as a primary dissemination tool for the new food guidance system. The MyPyramid.gov Web site was developed to provide a range of tools and information to meet the needs of varied audiences.
