“The New American Plate is a helpful method for creating nutritious meals that promote a healthy weight, decrease cancer risk and support overall health. Each time you eat, make plant foods (vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans) at least two-thirds of your plate, and animal protein (poultry, seafood and red meat) no more than one-third.”

Katherine Brooking, RD provides advice, tips and
recipes for parents packing kids' lunches.
