Steps to a Healthier You
The U.S.
Department of Agriculture unveiled MyPyramid, a new
symbol and interative food guidance system. MyPyramid,
which replaces the Food Guide Pyramid introduced in 1992, is part
of an overall food guidance system that emphasizes the need for a
more individual approach to improving diet and lifestyle.
The
MyPyramid symbol, which is deliberately simple, is meant
to encourage consumers to make healthier food choices and to be
active every day.

For a visual of the
"anatomy" of MyPyramid, go to:
http://mypyramid.gov/downloads/MyPyramid_Anatomy.pdf
For a mini poster, go to:
http://mypyramid.gov/downloads/MiniPoster.pdf
A
child-friendly version of MyPyramid for teachers and
children is being developed. This version of MyPyramid
is intended to reach children 6 to 11 years old with targeted
messages about the importance of making smart eating and physical
activity choices. Additional information about USDA's
MyPyramid is available at http://MyPyramid.gov.
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines
for Americans and consumer brochure are available at
www.healthierus.gov/dietaryguidelines.

The
Augusta School Nutrition Program prepares nutritious breakfasts & lunches
daily, in all of our schools. Our goal is to provide meals that meet
the expectations of all of out customers (students, parents, and
educators). This is a challenge, one that we take seriously and work
hard to achieve. Communication is vital to our success. We
actively seek feedback through the formation of Nutrition Advisory
Councils (NAC's). If you wish to participate in the N.A.C. within your
school , please contact your Principal or the kitchen manager.
Should you at any time wish to share a comment, concern, or suggestion
regarding our program, please do not hesitate to contact your kitchen
manager or the Director of School Nutrition Programs using the e-mail link
at the top of this page, or by calling 626-2468 extension # 3215.
