This is the first food recommendation from the government that makes sense.

6-11 servings of grains, 3-5 veges, 2-4 fruit, 2-3 dairy, 2-3 protein (all sources), minimal fat was absurd and bad. Protein is until you hit your needed macros. Fats are as needed. Processed grains are basically empty calories. a cup or two of whole grains is all you really need and thats it.

They’re lying to you that the last guidelines were the food pyramid people are remembering from the 1990s.

These are the prior recommendations: https://lgpress.clemson.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/...

100% evidence based but not branded as contrarian by a bunch of Instagram idiots so people assume they didn’t exist.

Dairy (the milk of another mammal's baby) only "makes sense" as a result of deep conditioning that it is normal, necessary and natural. Time to wake up from this lullaby.
