This week the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee pulled back the curtain on its official advisory for what Americans ‘should’ be eating.
Due out every five years, the last Guidelines were revealed in 2010.
That means this is the year for an
update.
What’s that got to do with you?
The Guidelines are yet to be finalized.
Yet when they are, they will serve as the basis for all dietary-related federal programs, including school lunches.
That means it affects your kids lunches, your grandkids lunches, WIC, nutrition labels on packaged foods, food advertisements, and whole lot of other eating venues.
With analysis and insights from Neal Barnard, M.D.and Dr. Joel Kahn, M.D. - along my own reflections - I've pulled some of
the new guidelines into an article so you can take a closer look.
