MyPyramid for Kids

Question:
Is the MyPyramid appropriate for children?

Answer:
MyPyramid, is for everyone over age 2. There is a child-friendly version, MyPyramid for Kids, for children ages 6 to 11. Both have the same messages; however, MyPyramid for Kids uses simpler language and colorful, kid-friendly illustrations. Dairy Council's® classroom programs, Little D's Nutrition Expedition and Arianna's Nutrition Expedition for 2nd and 4th grades, supports MyPyramid.
