A behind-the-scenes story about the creation of a PowerPoint on MyPlate by Alice Henneman, MS, RD and what she learned during the development and review process. You'll also learn how Alice promoted the PowerPoint so it is the top selection when googling "MyPlate PowerPoint."
As a result of the promotion, during a 4 week period, it has been viewed approximately 5,500 times on slideshare.net, embedded on several other websites, "liked" about 70 times on Facebook, and a topic of conversation on linkedin.com
Here is short video Alice created highlighting the three basic consumer messages of MyPlate:
You'll gain insights about such points as:

- changes in recommendations of which you may not be aware
- "whole-grain" vs. "fiber"
- promoting "beans and peas"
- formatting slides
- types of pictures to be aware of including on slides

MyPlate was adopted in June 2011 as the new guideline for eating a balanced diet. Its focus is on balancing calories, increasing fruit and vegetable consumption and reducing sodium and sugar consumption.
