The government is making a new attempt at tackling America's ever-growing waist line. John Blackstone reports on the end of the Food Pyramid, and the beginning of "My Plate." Federal officials revealed a new icon Thursday to replace the food pyramid as a tool for teaching Americans about proper nutrition.
