New Dietary Guidelines for America
This week, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius released a draft report entitled the Report of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010. In the face of widespread dietary misinformation and an epidemic of obesity, the draft report examines both what Americans are eating and what we should be eating, based on the existing science. Written comments on the draft are welcome, and are encouraged to be submitted through July 15, 2010. Oral testimony may be provided at a July 8 public meeting in Washington, DC. When it’s finalized and released at the end of the year, the report will be the basis for the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and replace the 2005 Dietary Guidelines.
