The theme of the new #DietaryGuidelines is “make every bite count”. Alas, the Guidelines present options that are simply inappropriate for the majority of Americans with one or more diet-related illness. lowcarbaction.org/2020-2025-…
Unfortunately, the release of these #DietaryGuidelines is a huge missed opportunity for our nation’s leading nutrition policy to embrace science and provide adequate nutrition advice for every American. Read more: lowcarbaction.org/2020-2025-…

USDA-HHS should put a warning label on 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines “For Healthy Americans Only.” Guidelines are scoped for prevention only--not for 60% of people already diagnosed w/diet-related, chronic diseases. #LabeltheDGA
#LabelTheDGA so the public knows that US Dietary Guidelines is for healthy Americans only. Expert panel didn’t review the science on treatment of diet-related diseases, not even weight loss. @USDA @HHSGov @HouseAgDems @HouseAgGOP @SenateAgGOP @SenateAg

The #DietaryGuidelines are meant for prevention of disease ONLY, not for the treatment of any chronic disease, not even obesity. US adult obesity rate is now >42%. How can Guidelines be effective if they ignore most Americans? #LabelTheDGA to warn the public!
@USDA @HHSGov the #DietaryGuidelines are scoped for healthy people only. #LabelTheDGA so that people with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc. understand the Guidelines did not look at the science on treatment and therefore is not meant for them. teapawt.net/aabradshaw/status/1337…
Today, 60% of Americans have one or more chronic, diet-related disease. Why then are the #DietaryGuidelines being created for only "healthy Americans?"
The #DietaryGuidelines provide a one-size-fits-all approach even through they claim to provide a range of dietary patterns.
These dietary patterns are simply inappropriate for the majority of Americans with one or more diet related disease.

From USDA feeding programs and the US military, to advice offered in schools and hospitals, the #DietaryGuidelines influence the lives of all Americans.
Our nation's leading nutrition policy must be appropriate for all Americans, not just those considered healthy.

The #DietaryGuidelines are only appropriate for healthy Americans. This is especially problematic as diet-related diseases have repeatedly been shown to dramatically increase the risk of complications for Covid-19.

1/2 "Low-carb advocates believe the current guidelines—which recommend Americans get about half their calories from carbohydrates—are partly to blame for America’s high rates of obesity and Type 2 diabetes."

That the #DietaryGuidelines is only appropriate for healthy Americans is especially a problem when diet-related diseases, including obesity and diabetes, have repeatedly been shown to dramatically increase the risk of complications for Covid-19.

WARNING: The #DietaryGuidelines are being created for "healthy Americans" only and are not appropriate for the majority of Americans who have one or more nutrition-related illness.

In this great @WSJ article, journalist @rddysum questions if Americans should get half their calories from carbs, as the #DietaryGuidelines suggests. We answer ‘no,’ especially for people with obesity, diabetes & other nutrition-related illnesses.

L-CAN recently sent a letter to USDA and HHS raising concerns that the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans are being designed only for “healthy Americans,” who comprise less than 40% of the U.S. population. Read the full letter here:

By ignoring the health needs of the majority of Americans, the next Dietary Guidelines is bound to do a great disservice to the public. Join L-CAN is taking action!

That the #DietaryGuidelines is only for healthy Americans is especially problematic when diet-related diseases, including obesity and diabetes, have repeatedly been shown to dramatically increase the risk of complications from Covid-19. Take action today:

The #DietaryGuidelines are highly influential, quietly pervading the lives of everyone in America and thereby crucially shaping the nation’s health... and that health is not good.
