Food circle

A food circle is a visual nutrition guide in the form of a pie chart used to explain healthy nutrition. An example is the United States Department of Agriculture's MyPlate,[1] which has replaced the USDA' s food pyramid promoted until 2011 (called "Food Guide Pyramid"). Developed under the Obama administration, MyPlate shows at a glance the groups and their recommended amounts. The logo is on cereal boxes and so forth.[2] On the U.S. government's educational website about nutrition, the different parts of the logo are clickable, bringing the reader to different pages.[3]
