Honorary Chair of the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) First Lady Michelle Obama has recently announced five of the nation’s largest media companies, as well as Pinterest, have joined PHA, Let’s Move! and the USDA’s MyPlate to make it easier for millions of people to put healthier meals on the table every day.
Epicurious, Food Network, Hearst Magazines, Meredith and Time Inc., through an agreement with PHA, are making available thousands of nutritious recipes that align with guidance that support USDA’s MyPlate, and are labeling, compiling and promoting these recipes on their most popular cooking websites.
More than 3,000 recipes have been identified across 18 websites, and today nearly 1,000 of these recipes have been collected on a new Pinterest page associated with the effort, providing a one-stop-shop where parents, beginner home cooks and even the most experienced chefs can find and share healthier recipes.
Over the next two years, partners will roll out 250 MyPlate-inspired recipes each month on individual brand websites as well as on the PHA MyPlate Pinterest page.
