About 2 years ago the government came up with a new food pyramid, but it hasn't been promoted anywhere but online since it was first released. All that is about to change, as the new design prepares to hit a grocery store near you.

But if you haven't seen it already, you might be a little surprised to see that it doesn't tell you what to eat or how much. It's really just a logo, intended to promote the idea of balanced eating and to encourage and remind people to visit the website www.mypyramid.gov. Once online, enter some general info about yourself (age, sex, physical activity) and then you'll get a personalized idea of how much you should be eating, and of what. Sort of your own personal food pyramid.

I think the old one was much easier and more convenient, but other than sweets being on the top I don't know how many people really knew what went where and followed it everyday -- so maybe this more complicated but personalized version is better.
