The US is about to unveil their new healthy eating plate

The food pyramid is giving way to a simple, plate-shaped icon, which is sliced into portions for basic food groups - fruits and vegetables take up half the space. The plate symbol will be announced by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Thursday.
Sounds like the Idaho Diabetes plate (which is what I was taught to use)
