How are you putting more fruits and vegetables to your plate? USDA is challenging you to show how you’re adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet without straining your budget. Speaking of your budget, the challenge is offering cash prizes for creative videos! All you have to do is create a short video (approximately 30 seconds) showing how you build a healthy plate with fruits and veggies on a budget. What does YOUR MyPlate look like? Share your most inspiring tips, tricks, and how-tos. Get creative with your video! It can be a song, a skit, or a how-to in action, as long as it includes the message “Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.”
But hurry! The deadline is quickly approaching. Submit your best “Make Half Your Plate Fruits and Vegetables” video by November 15th to be eligible for the contest. The goal of the challenge is to encourage healthy eating habits, raise awareness around USDA’s MyPlate, and promote the message, “Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.” Winners will be featured on ChooseMyPlate.gov and other partner websites.
