That was my dramatic rendition of an unadulterated, uncut first two paragraphs of the USDA's fact sheet that they released when they released these new dietary guidelines.

We'll have a link to it on our website.

And it was completely uncut.

Very little changes.

And to imply that the changes that they have made are in any way based in science in a way that previous ones weren't is false.

To imply that they are not backed by industry interests is also false.

Yeah.

So it's like...

We'll get into all of it today.

And I'm Erin Allman Updike.

Today we're talking about the dietary guidelines, part two.

Bringing back the food pyramid.

Yeah.

I know.

Well, and it's interesting, too, because historically the like Dietary Guidelines for Americans document has been this like pretty large, you know, hefty document that's geared towards professionals, you know, nutrition experts and people who are making the decisions about things and not not the same document that is necessarily geared towards general public, where then they take those dietary guidelines, the DGA, and then make a food pyramid and make this public facing, you know, information infographic.

This time it's like we got it.

It's all in one.

It's just this very short, a few pages.

And this is the dietary guidelines.

It is public facing.
