Open thread: Is the Food Plate better than the Pyramid?

14 Jun

My Plate

In an effort to decrease obesity and improve general health, the US government announced their newest guide to food proportions: the food plate. This of course is a departure from the food pyramid that has been around in one form or another since the 1990s. Instead of slivers or sections on a pyramid, we now have a pie chart type of thing. Well, more like a Simon.

So here's the question: Does the plate work better than the pyramid?

Or how about better than designs past, from the 1970s?
