The second new message:
No single eating plan is right for all people.
While getting that point across now involves navigating through 12 different pyramids .
For men, women, and children of varying weights and ages , experts say the suggestion here is simpler than it seems.
"The basic message is that not all people need the same amount of food.
For example, if you are overweight then you need to consume less food than someone your same age and gender who is not overweight.
To help us figure out which pyramid has our name on it, the web site offers a program, found at http://my.webmd.com/click?url=http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov.
Here you enter your age, weight, sex, and activity level, to find out what you need to eat as well as track it.
Or you can simply go to WebMD's special report on The New Food Pyramid and check out the charts and information on each food group to help you figure out how much you should eat each day
