What’s on Your Plate?

MyPlate - USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans

In an attempt to battle the current obesity epidemic in the United States the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) decided to change the shape of the Triangular Food Pyramid to an image which it believed would better represent the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The new “MyPlate” symbol launched in June 2011 as the government’s new primary food group symbol.

MyPlate is an easy-to-understand visual cue to help consumers adopt healthy eating habits by encouraging them to build a “healthy plate”, consistent with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

The plate is divided into 4 sections, with a cup of dairy off to the right upper side. Each half of the plate has a split of about 60/40. On one side, the 60/40 split is between your Protein (40%) and your Grains (60%). The other side is your Fruit (40%) and your Vegetable (60%). Check out the new MyPlate image and link to current and relevant information which may help you with your efforts for balanced eating and a healthy lifestyle.

Sadly, though every effort is being made to reverse the Obesity crisis in the United States, Obesity numbers continue to rise. During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States and rates remain high. More than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) and approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years are obese. ~Sharon Gayle

Inspiring our Young People ...Preparing them for the Future!

Teachers Preparatory School Career Day.

Event Date: Wednesday 16th May, 2012

I have to say that I had a wonderful time presenting to the students at the Teachers Preparatory School Career Day. The students were extremely inviting and very pleasant. They were thrilled to hear from each of the guests presenting information regarding their professions and career choices; and really happy to be able use us as a sounding board to their own thoughts and the directions they are/were considering.

Me with Anastasia C. and Emmanuel B; both aspiring artists.

At the end of our presentation to our designated classes, the staff members and several students showed their appreciation to us for our participation in one of the most important days of the school year. Two students sang to us; Carmen Simone (Principal) thanked all of the professionals personally, and Ms. Reva Jamison (Head Counselor/Event Coordinator), spoke fondly of her Career Day experiences and meeting the individual Professionals.

 
Ivor Brown, Ms. Reva Jamison, and Myself, feeling very appreciated.

The two students with whom I am pictured, Anastasia C. and Emmanuel B, stepped up to give a few words on the "presenter that impacted them the most". I was so touched when they both indicated that I was that person.  It took all that I had to hold back the tears. I had no idea what they planned to do or say; so I was not prepared for such words of appreciation coming from two very young children. Both decided that they wanted to follow in my footsteps to study Graphic Design & Communications.

I am so thankful to have had this opportunity to speak to the students at the Teachers Preparatory School, and to have been able to help them to make the right choices for their future professions and careers. ~Sharon Gayle
