So now we've changed that landscape.

For the next five years.

Hopefully longer than that, but, you know, at least till the next guidelines.

Yeah, 1980, so 46 years we're changing it.

Hopefully people will see the benefit.

We know the other pattern wasn't working.

Again, I think these guidelines are very straightforward.

I think they're very fair and reasonable.

I think they will be harder to argue against.

What I hope people will learn is that when they think about their meal, when they think about their orientation to food, they should always think about a protein choice first.

If you want to be vegetarian, that's a protein choice.

If you want to be a carnivore, that's a, or if you want to be in the middle, that's a protein choice.

But once you make that, everything else has to line up.

Your nutrients are now being determined by what that choice was.

How many other fats or how much carbohydrates you're going to eat is all determined by that protein choice.

And we've been doing it the other way around.

We've been avoiding fat, using carbs, and we probably need some protein.

script to protein choice first.

Yeah, it's... You haven't read that book.

Hopefully more than a coincidence, but the research we did at the University of Illinois was based on basically what these new guidelines look like.
