So we're letting people know the truth about healthy fats, about the importance of protein, and about the concerns we have with highly processed foods.
We're talking about doubling protein content for some individuals.
Your body needs protein, and in order to get that protein when you don't have it, it breaks down muscle.
And that is catastrophic to older individuals where muscle loss is a driver of frailty.
And for young kids, the old protein guidance that was low really just prevented against withering away.

I think it puts children unnecessarily in harm's way. And there are There have been about a thousand deaths from COVID during this pandemic in children. About one third of those deaths were in children who were perfectly healthy before that. So I think it's a bad idea. Also, I don't like it that they didn't consult advisory committees. They didn't consult the public.
