AB  - Due  to  the  increasing  prevalence  of  obesity,  interest  in  nutrition  has  increased.  Every  5  years,  the  US  Department  of  Agriculture  (USDA)  revises  the  nutrition  guidelines;  the  last  publication  was  in  2015.  The  “pyramid”  from  2005  has  been  changed  to  a  graphic  similar  to  the  “My  Plate”  diagram  recommended  for  weight  control  (http://www.chosemyplate.gov)  and  not  only  reflects  the  known  requirements  and  “conventional”  scientific  wisdom  for  nutrients,  but  also,  to  some  extent,  represents  a  realistic  and  simplified  recommendation  based  on  what  the  American  public  is  willing  to  accept  and  follow  (Figure  16-1).  The  ChooseMyPlate  website  also  contains  recommendations  for  pregnancy.  The  nutrition  guidelines  may  unfortunately  reflect  pressure  from  the  food  industry,  according  to  many  nutrition  advocates.
