Answer to Question 1

ANS: Students may compare the MyPlate icon to other countries' food guidance systems and see that they look very different. Korea has a tiered pagoda. Canada's food guide is in the shape of a rainbow, while those of Great Britain and Portugal are circles. Although the food guides may take different shapes, they all recommend a plant-based diet with modest amounts of animal products. The different countries have foods represented that are available locally, but overall the nutrition messages are the same around the world.
