It matters how you get your grains! Old dietary guidelines treated ultraprocessed carbs the same as whole grains – those guidelines badly need an update.

The Politics of Food Guidelines and the Real Food Revolution | Marion Nestle, PhD In this episode, legendary food policy expert Dr. Marion Nestle (Marion Nestle) joins the show to discuss her new book "What to Eat Now" and share her unfiltered take on the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. At 89 years old, Dr. Nestle brings over five decades of experience to the conversation, including her role as editor of the 1988 Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health and as a member of the 1995 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. We explore how supermarkets are designed to maximize spending rather than health, why the food industry's profit motive conflicts with consumer wellbeing, and why the simplest nutrition advice—eat real food, not too much, mostly plants—remains so difficult to follow. We also dig into the controversy surrounding the new dietary guidelines, examining both what Dr. Nestle praises (the emphasis on real food and limiting ultra-processed products) and what concerns her (the meat-forward messaging and questions about equity). As a member of the Scientific Review Group that developed the scientific foundations for these guidelines, I offer an insider perspective on what the evidence actually says versus how it's been communicated. The conversation turns to implementation challenges—from school meals to SNAP policy—and asks the critical question: how do we translate good dietary guidance into meaningful change when funding for community programs is being cut? If you're interested in understanding the forces shaping American food policy and what it means for public health, this episode offers a candid, nuanced discussion from two experts coming from different perspectives on the debate.

This is a very good thing! 🚨RFK JR just announced the New Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and declares WAR on Sugar’s 🔻 Key Changes: - Focus on high-quality proteins and healthy fats; reduce emphasis on carbohydrates. - First explicit warnings against ultra-processed foods and additives. - Lift restrictions on full-fat dairy and natural fats. - Stricter limits on added sugars and non-nutritive sweeteners (avoid entirely for young children). - Support for lower-carb approaches where evidence shows benefits. - New emphasis on gut health via fiber-rich and fermented foods. 🔻 Core Recommendations: - Proteins (eggs, meat, seafood, beans, nuts) in every meal. - Healthy fats from avocados, olives, nuts, full-fat dairy, olive oil. - At least 3 servings vegetables and 2 servings whole fruits daily. - 3 servings dairy daily (full-fat options encouraged). - Whole grains preferred; limit refined grains. - Limit/avoid: ultra-processed foods, sugary drinks, added sugars, excess sodium. 🔻 Why this is so important: These guidelines directly shape federal child nutrition programs. They set the standards for meal patterns in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program, which provide meals to over 30 million children daily. Schools MUST align their menus with the guidelines (e.g., emphasizing whole foods, proteins, vegetables, and full-fat dairy while limiting processed items, added sugars, and refined carbs). THANK YOU JESUS!
