MyPlate for Dysphagia

MyPlate is the latest graphic from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) designed to represent a healthful approach to eating that promotes health and reduces risk of disease. The graphic uses a place setting to illustrate the familiar five food groups, Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, Protein Foods and Dairy. Choosing nutrient-rich foods in amounts that support a healthy weight are two keys to building a healthful diet.

The UF/IFAS Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition is among one of the world's largest combined programs in which food science, nutritional sciences, and dietetics are studied within one academic department.
