Ideas in this flowchart

• The Pacific Food Guide connects Pacific foods with their origins and dietary guidelines.
• Users can identify the origin of specific Pacific foods and see how they fit into both dietary guidelines.
• Grouping foods by origin helps readers who may be unfamiliar with either dietary guideline use the Guide.
• The Guide uses a unique set of pins to identify food categories.
• USDA pins label foods according to the MyPlate guidelines and food groups.
• SPC pins label foods according to the Pacific food groups for healthy eating.
• Some foods may not fit into any of the three SPC food groups.
• The SPC regards these miscellaneous foods as unnecessary or not needed in significant amounts for healthy eating.
• The recommendation is to eat less of these foods rather than avoid them completely.
• These foods may still have cultural and traditional value.
