A new blog post written by USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack and Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell discusses the 2015 Dietary Guidelines. In it, the authors say they expect the guidelines to be similar in many key respects to those of past years, but issues of sustainability are not expected to play a role in determining the Guidelines.
“Fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy, whole grains and lean meats and other proteins, and limited amounts of saturated fats, added sugars and sodium remain the building blocks of a healthy lifestyle,” they said in the blog.
