What's what?

As you may know, the federal government came out with an update to the Food Pyramid this summer.  They keep trying to tell us what and how to eat, but we can't seem to get a handle on it for some reason.  This is their newest guideline which is, admittedly less confusing than that pyramid!:

This is the icon for MyPlate which replaced MyPyramid in June 2011. The new MyPlate icon is composed of a plate divided into 4 sections: fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein. A dairy section is off the plate to the side. The MyPlate graphic is positioned on a placemat with the website ChooseMyPlate.gov written underneath. The 5 sections of MyPlate are clickable and go to food group subpages.

I stumbled on a blog this morning that has another version- one that is even more to the point!:
