Nutrition policy should be coherent, not confusing! More Americans than ever are facing diet-related chronic disease, and in our current world of misinformation we need & deserve clear nutrition guidance backed by science. Check out CSPI's #UncompromisedDGA at the link in our bio 🍐

Saturated fat - is it good, or bad? While the new Dietary Guidelines maintain the recommended limit on saturated fat intake (less than 10% of calories per day), they also promote sources of saturated fat like full-fat dairy and red meat (and so is RFK, Jr.). So, what's the answer? 🧵

So not only does the new food pyramid have merch now, it's not even the pyramid that HHS released last week - they changed it to have TWELVE animal based proteins/products at the top, then dairy, and then a couple fruits, vegetables, and oats/bread at the bottom. Wild stuff.

Could a UK-style junk food ad ban happen in the U.S.?
"We couldn’t just ban all junk-food ads on TV and online like the U.K. But it does show governments globally are looking at the relationship between marketing environments and public health."

“If the DGA that came out had not been compromised at all, if it had pretty much followed scientifically sound recommendation and they’d shown their justification, then we would not have released [the #UncompromisedDGA]."
Nutrition experts warn that the new recommendations include contradictions and conflicts of interest, and that the guidelines may not prompt the shakeup the administration anticipates.

Our partners at AND rightly point out the contradiction in the new Dietary Guidelines: "emphasis on butter, beef tallow, red meat and full fat dairy is inconsistent with the recommendation of limiting saturated fat to 10% of total calories."
📄 The Academy acknowledges the release of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030 (DGAs). While many recommendations align with longstanding nutrition science, other elements raise significant concerns.

We actually did the math, and if you tried to follow the new DGA recommended servings of different food groups you'd very likely end up eating as much as 3x more saturated fat than the guidelines recommend. How are consumers supposed to follow guidelines that contradict themselves?

This level of contradiction is unacceptable given the Secretaries had clear, transparent, evidence-based recommendations at their disposal. While the meat and dairy industries may be excited about the new food pyramid, the American public should not be.
