Plate o' Shrimp

Wow!  Just Wow!  I was JUST thinking about what to eat for dinner, and I opened the freezer, and I saw the shrimp all wrapped up in a blue container, and I thought, "Hey, I think I'll have a plate of shrimp."  And then I get on the internets and find out that there is a new food plate to replace the old food pyramid.
Cool Huh?  (So cool that they bought a whole new domain name in all it's plate-y goodness.)  Here it is:

I really liked the Metabolism Society's truncated icosohedron food "thing" because I really like all the Buckminster Fuller stuff, like domes and pyramids.  Remember this?

Then again, I was also a fan of the four food groups from years ago, since it was so Jungian.  I guess we have covered all the appropriate nutritional geometry and have come full circle, back to Carl Jung.
Plates are cool.  Who wouldn't like a plate graphic to remind me what to eat?
Here's my favorite plate:  http://www.fredsmusicandbbq.com/category_s/54.htm
Hmmm, how about a plate o' shrimp for every meal?
