Food pyramid game for kids

In an effort to be at least a tiny bit as attractive to kids as the slick offerings of the fast food giants, the USDA unveiled today a game for kids that highlights the elements of the government's new food pyramid.

"In the MyPyramid Blast Off game, kids load a rocket ship with the right combination of healthy foods: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lowfat or fat-free milk and lean meat. Load up with the wrong kind of fuel, or too much of it, and you can't blast off to Planet Power." [AP]
