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

Nutrition For Mortals

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. So join us, two Registered Dietitians, in the second episode of our three part series dedicated to answering the question: Can we actually trust the Dietary Guidelines for Americans?
