Listen "Ep #88 USDA Food Guidelines"

Episode Synopsis

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is tasked with developing Federal nutrition guidelines that inform health professionals, schools and other entities. These guidelines provide food-based recommendations for how to be healthful and prevent diet-related diseases. During this podcast, I discuss the ambiguous nature of some of these guidelines and recommend applying critical thinking when interpreting them for yourself. Additionally, I talk with my children about how these guidelines are applied at school. Specifically, I ask them what food is served at school and what they like or don’t like to eat.
