Last week, the revamped MyPlate for Older Adults icon was unveiled at a Capitol Hill luncheon featuring healthy foods straight from the plate. As the audience dined on lean fish or poultry, berries, grains and leafy greens, the panel – including a congressman, a senior USDA scientist and the head of the AARP Foundation – talked about good nutrition for seniors. MyPlate for Older Adults is based on the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Most guidelines apply to adults of any age, while the new MyPlate offers adjustments to meet the needs of older Americans.
