  • There are improvements, but a few things may still be lacking. (3:30)
    • Protein levels are better, but recommendations for fat macros are still off.
    • Institutions will follow the written guidelines, which are not necessarily reflected in the upside-down pyramid graphic.
  • Institutions, like schools, have contracts with Big Food companies, which will affect how closely they follow the guidelines. (12:15)
  • Chris goes through some of the guidelines. (15:30)
  • The fat intake recommendations are off, in Vinnie’s experience. (24:00)
    • Saturated fat is limited to 10% of all fats. (30:00)
  • Vinnie believes these guidelines are good overall, but didn’t go far enough. (33:00)
    • Institutions, companies, congresspeople, and others would most likely push back on a larger sweeping change.
  • Whole grains, packaged breakfast options, and processed foods are at the bottom of the upside-down pyramid, and rightly so. (41:30)
  • Limiting ultra-processed foods and refined carbs is recommended. (46:00)
    • No meal should contain more than 10g of added sugars.
    • It even defines what “added sugars” are.
  • The last point discusses sodium and electrolytes. (54:30)
