    5 Things to Know About the New Nutritional Guidelines​

    https://www.takepart.com/news/2011/...-to-know-about-the-new-nutritional-guidelines
    Though the White House is enthusiastically emphasizing lean white meat protein, the administration stops short of advising Americans to cut out red meat.

    "The reality is, USDA will probably never come out and tell Americans to stop eating high fat, calorie-dense meat," NPR's April Fulton explains. "That's because USDA is not just a regulatory agency—it also promotes the country's vast livestock industry, from cattle to chicken."

    That observation highlights the complicated role that the government plays: advising healthier eating while continuing to subsidize five crops that are incongruous with their messaging: wheat, corn, soybeans, rice, and cotton.

    It's not bad as a start, but they need more vertical space use, mulch plants, and insectiary plants are needed as well... ..also where is the pond?
