The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services join forces every five years to update the Dietary Guidelines for Americans using the latest, science-based nutrition guidance. These guidelines serve as a cornerstone of nutrition policy and help Americans make dietary choices that will improve their health, as well as promote and elevate nutrition security throughout the country.
The USDA and HHS are beginning to develop the next edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and have posted a series of proposed scientific questions for public comment. They need your help!
From now, until May 16th 2022, you have the ability to provide feedback on the proposed questions and have the ability to inform the development process from the very start. To see the list of proposed questions and to place your comments visit here.
Eating healthy while sticking to your food budget is possible, all you need is a plan! Discover the many ways to eat healthy while staying within your grocery store budget.
