My friends, in this episode, we're talking about food and nutrition propaganda and asking ourselves the question: who can you trust? When you think about how nutrition information is shared, you have to consider the source, and then... you have to question the source.
It's a lot of responsibility on you, I know.
In today's chat, I share a high-level history of food and nutrition recommendations from the good ol' USDA - the United States Department of Agriculture.
The intention with this conversation is to shed some light on where recommendations come from and remind you to be curious and skeptical. It's also to say that general guidelines are just that - they're general. That means your needs and what's right for you might look different, and that's OK.
Thanks for joining me for this adventure!
