MyPlate是当前的教育图标，支持向公众传播美国饮食指南。自2011年成立以来，很少有研究记录消费者对该图标的认识及其对改善美国人饮食的有效性。这种观点提出了在何种程度上MyPlate已在营养教育文献中的代表，并讨论了目前的评估和利用需求。作者认为，需要对MyPlate进行更严格的、基于理论的评估，作为一个独立的图标和教育干预的一部分，以促进美国人饮食指南的传播和采用。
MyPlate is the current educational icon that supports communication of US Dietary Guidelines for Americans to the public. Since its inception in 2011, there has been a paucity of research documenting consumer awareness of the icon and its effectiveness for improving Americans' diets. This perspective presents the extent to which MyPlate has been represented in the nutrition education literature and discusses current evaluation and utilization needs. The authors argue that more rigorous, theory-based evaluation of MyPlate, as both a standalone icon and part of educational interventions, is needed to advance communication and adoption of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
