| JANUARY 7, 2012 -- Just in time to help Americans keep their New Year's resolutions by making healthy food and physical activity choices, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has released USDA's new nutrition SuperTracker. This comprehensive, state-of-the-art resource, available at www.ChooseMyPlate.gov, is designed to assist individuals as they make changes in their life to reduce their risk of chronic disease and maintain a healthy weight. Consumers can access this free, online tool at any time and can choose a variety of features to support nutrition and physical activity goals.
Release of this new web tool comes as USDA highlights the second in a series of themed consumer messages supporting the MyPlate icon – Enjoy Your Food, But Eat Less – that USDA is promoting the next three months in conjunction with more than 5,000 organizations participating in the MyPlate Nutrition Communicators Network. |
