Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau counts everyone living in the United States. The next census occurs in 2010. Census questionnaires will be mailed or delivered to every household in the United States in March 2010. Get ready to be counted!
 


MyPyramid food plans are designed for the general public ages 2 and over; they are not therapeutic diets. Those with a specific health condition should consult with a health care provider for a dietary plan that is right for them.

One size doesn't fit all. MyPyramid offers personalized eating plans and interactive tools to help you plan and assess your food choices based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
