Some early takes said the new food guidelines weren't too bad, but you always gotta dig deeper to really understand what MAHA is doing. So much going on here is chaos but most notably the new guidance makes an aggressive turn toward centering animal-based foods

For a long time, I thought ditching beef would mean missing out on some grand connection I'd gain at the table. For @vox.com, I wrote about reconnecting with Indigenous foodways, while also acknowledge the cultural pull of beef — as a Texan. www.vox.com/future-perfe...
I’m the daughter of a cattle rancher. Could I ever ditch beef?
Beef is tied to my cultural identity — because of its complicated, colonial history.
