For the first time, they take a position on ultra-processed foods, recommending that Americans avoid them as much as possible.
That's foods like chips and packaged cookies, those kinds of things, refined carbohydrates.
So that's a big deal and a big departure from previous guidelines.
They, for the first time, recommend that Americans have protein at every meal, and they increase the level of protein that they're saying that Americans should consume.
They don't differentiate between different types of protein so much, so they recommend protein both from animals, and that includes everything from red meat to poultry and seafood, and then they recommend plant-based sources of protein as well.
They're happy to see how much whole grains are emphasized and how much fruits and vegetables are emphasized.
They're concerned that when it comes to the protein and the fat part of things, you know, the images have everything from butter and steak to salmon and nuts.
So there are foods that everyone agree are healthy.
There are foods that people would say you should really be limiting your consumption of them, and they're all kind of thrown together without differentiation.
They certainly have a cultural influence on people.
I don't think that we have great research showing exactly how much.
Most Americans don't follow the guidelines to the letter.
That's certainly true.
There are all sorts of trickle-down effects.
For example, the guidelines do inform directly what schools serve to kids through the school lunch program.
That's a big deal.
The USDA will have to translate this guidance, so it's not like schools will be implementing changes right away, but that is one way that it'll directly impact Americans' health.
Yeah, not a problem.
Glad to be here.
Yeah, I think shot profile is one.
