Dietary Guidelines 2010

Hot of the press!

Sit back off the edge of your seat!

Exhale!

They are finally here!

The new dietary guidelines have been released and I know you are all so excited and curious you just can't stand it.

I will be reading the 112 page document in addition to the 453 page "Report of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010" soon and will have to get back to you regarding my thoughts and opinions and what the take away message will be for the average Joe or Josephine.

So far it sounds like they have made some earth shattering recommendations such as eat a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables and don't eat oversized portions.

But, rest assured, I will be reading away and will get back to you.

In the meantime, if you you'd like to read the document for yourself it can be found at the USDA website. PS remember that the USDA not only provides nutrition recommendations for the US population but also serves to support various industries such as the beef peoples. So take it with a grain of salt (pun intended) and read with a critical eye.
