Food Pins

"The Pacific Food Guide allows users to identify with the origin of specific Pacific foods and see how these foods fit into both dietary guidelines using a unique set of pins. By grouping foods into their origin, it allows readers who may not be familiar with either or neither dietary guidelines to use the Guide. These pins label foods according to the USDA MyPlate guidelines and food groups. Other pins label foods according to the SPC food groups for healthy eating in the Pacific. There may be a few foods that do not fall in either of the 3 food groups, which the SPC regards as not essential or needed in significant amounts to achieve healthy eating. The recommendations for these miscellaneous food items are to “Eat Less” of, but not necessarily to avoid completely as they may have cultural and traditional value."
