Overwhelmed by the many specific goals in the new USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005?

Here is a simple, easy-to-remember recommendation from the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), to help you eat according to the 2005 Guidelines at every meal.  Fill at least two thirds of your plate with a variety of plant foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans and one third of your plate or less with animal protein.

To help you make the transition to this healthier way of eating, AICR offers the New American Plate brochure.  You can read, download, or order a single free copy of the brochure at www.aicr.org.  To order a single free copy by phone, call 1-800-843-8114 ext. 460.
