MyPlate is now reaching more consumers through social media
Using social media platforms like Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter, consumers can get practical information where and when they need it to make informed decisions about following a healthy diet. In February 2013, MyPlate partnered with Let's Move! and top recipe creators to start a MyPlate recipes page on Pinterest. In March, USDA launched its MyPlate Facebook page. More than 44, 000 people are following @MyPlate on Twitter, which sends out tweets daily with helpful messages about eating healthy. The Academy is encouraging dietetics professionals to direct patients and clients to these resources where nutrition information is easily accessed and can be shared with others.
