The Healthy Choices, Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds Project Placemats
The Academy of Medicine of Toledo and Lucas County Alliance
The Healthy Choices placemats project was developed to encourage Lucas County residents to make wiser food choices and to increase daily activity. The project, a double-sided, full-color, 11" X 17" placemat printed on 80# glossy paper, is an easy-to-read and graphically pleasing representation of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The first side focuses attention on "What I Need to Eat Today". It depicts an individual table setting with the five basic food groups pictorially displayed on the 'plate'. Listed on the 'napkin' are a few examples of what constitutes "one serving" and recommendations for water and sodium intake. The reverse side is titled "Eat Your Colors Everyday" with the fruits and vegetables categorized by color. The graphic display subtly encourages eating a variety of fruits and vegetables each day with suggested activities/exercises included under the heading of "What I Need to do Today".
