Americans are not over-consuming beef. The Dietary Guidelines process brings together those who share the common goal of using scientific evidence to improve public health. America’s farmers and ranchers share that same goal which is why they participate in the process by providing the scientific research related beef.
All Americans were able to submit comments to share their perspectives on the most recent dietary guidelines process. In total, more than 1,900 comments from public citizens such as school children, mothers, researchers and members of the food industry were submitted during this process. The beef industry, through efforts funded by your beef checkoff, provided 11 sets of written comments and 2 sets of oral comments.
Dr. Roger Clemens, USC School of Pharmacy, doctoral degree in nutrition and biological chemistry with an expertise in food science, tells us how the 2010 guidelines have changed from previous years.
