MyPyramid turns one

my pyramid

This week marked the one year anniversary of the MyPyramid website, based on the USDA's "new" food pyramid. The site has been one of the most popular government website with 1.7 billion hits in its first year.

We're all now familiar with the pyramid itself, which has moved away from the idea that one nutrition standard plan fits everyone and to the notion that individuals require their own specialized dietary and healthy eating needs. The website is an interactive site that allows individuals to track and analyze their eating habits and physical activity, and offers guidance based on the President's Healthier US Initiative and current nutrition research.
