‘For decades, the United States Dietary Guidelines have shaped what Americans eat, from school lunches and hospital menus to federal and state food programs. Yet, often influenced by politics, industry pressure, and biased research, these guidelines may be fueling the rise in chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and even mental health challenges.
‘Can food itself can play a role in reversing chronic disease? Join Heritage as leading voices in nutrition and policy come together to examine how dietary guidelines are developed, where they fall short, and how they could better serve public health. Speakers will connect the latest science on fats, carbohydrates, and nutrient-dense diets to practical policy implications, from reforming school lunch programs to rethinking federal nutrition standards.’
