Our newspaper ran another feature on the
new nutrition plate and it made me think a
real plate for children would be great.
Using this guide, you could decorate a plate
to help parents get their kids to eat a vegetable
other than potato.
There is an official website ...
http://www.choosemyplate.gov/
but I could not find any links to real dinnerware.
It would be fun to decorate plates this way and
I think they would sell.
