As generations grow older, their nutrition needs change. The MyPlate for Older Adults Poster features a unique icon that provides food, fluid, and physical activity guidance that correspond with USDA's 2010 Dietary Guidelines for aging populations. MyPlate is the USDA food symbol that replaced the food guide pyramid.
