As you may know, water is not currently represented on MyPlate, the premier graphic used to promote a healthy diet. This is an oversight, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), who manages the graphic, should add water. Because of this inaction, U.S. House Representatives are sending a letter to USDA and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS - who co-manages the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans that influence the MyPlate graphic) to encourage water's inclusion on MyPlate. Every House Representative is eligible to sign on to the House letter to support the effort, and they need to hear from you to encourage their support! Please take a moment now to enter your contact information and submit your letter.
