Can We Trust Our Dietary Guidelines? (Part 2: The Great Pyramid)

The U.S. government has been making nutrition recommendations for well over 100 years. More recently, however, people have started questioning these guidelines, with concerns around the influences of big food and big agriculture. Social media is ablaze with cries of corruption and deception. Health professionals are being called into question, as are the real motives behind these health recommendations.
