  1. Some kind of misunderstanding at USDA on "mean" in the MAD.

    "We find that although eliminating ultraprocessed foods from the MAD could yield substantial environmental benefits—given their large share of total intake and animal-based makeup—the recommended increase in animal-based proteins, will more than offset this environmental dividend in GHG, land use, and nitrogen fertilizer use by as much as 32%, but not in water use (i.e., water use is lower by 7 to 19% than the MAD). Across all environmental metrics measured, favoring plants- over animal-based foods leads to better environmental outcomes. Overall, adherence to the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans would confer net environmental harm across most key metrics relative to the prevailing U.S. diet."

  4. A key government study about alcohol and its health harms will not be released publicly, Stat News reports. The SAMHSA study was one of two that were set to inform the next version of the Dietary Guidelines for America. A draft showed that even moderate drinking could raise a person's risk of injuries, liver disease and cancer, however, the alcohol industry came out hard against it. "It’s unclear whether the industry influenced the Trump administration’s decision to withhold the final findings, but companies have spent millions lobbying on the dietary guidelines and related matters," Isabella Cuteo writes.

  5. 🍎 New #DietaryGuidelines may hit schools early—but most districts already locked in menus.

    As an RDN & procurement leader, I say: we need policy and readiness.

    Let’s align sourcing, contracts & health goals—before rollout.

  6. “One #drink a day for men — holy smokes!” she said, paraphrasing the reaction. “What’s going to happen to all those people who go to bars? Could warning labels be next?
    The final 2020 #dietaryguidelines did acknowledge that “emerging evidence suggests that even drinking within the recommended limits may increase the overall risk of death from various causes, such as from several types of #cancer and some forms of cardiovascular disease.”

  8. There are few senators I disrespect more than #ChuckGrassley. But I applaud his "call for suspending the development of the 2025 #DietaryGuidelines for Americans until [the oversight agencies] fully disclose all financial #ConflictsOfInterest (#COI) on the appointed expert group that oversees the science for the guidelines, called the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (#DGAC)."
