The MAHA Dietary Guidelines I: Personal Responsibility vs. Public Health Policy
This is the first of a series of posts I will be writing about the new Dietary Guidelines for America, 2025-2030 Yesterday, I gave an overview of the guidelines, finding them cheerful, but muddled, contradictory, ideological, and retro. I do like the cheerful message: Eat Real Food. But after reviewing lsome of the rest of the materials that come with the guidelines, I think those terms miss a more important concern: they are about personal responsibility, not public health.

Keeping up with AI and food
While waiting for the new dietary guidelines to be released today (I will write about them tomorrow), here's a place-holder. Artificial intelligence is taking over everything and food is no exception. Here's my latest collection of items about the design of AI technology ostensibly to improve foods and beverages, as well as human health. FOODS AND BEVERAGES AI goes mainstream in food and beverage in 2025:

The What to Eat Now spinoffs: miracles of AI?
My most recent book, What to Eat Now, was published in November. Within days, Amazon.com displayed one after another book based on it. Wondering what these were, I asked my partner (who has Amazon Prime) to get copies right away in case they were taken down, which most were. For the record: I had nothing do with with any of these, despite my name on their covers.

Industry-funded studies of the week: Beef
Rumors are that the 2025=2030 dietary guidelines will be released this week and they will favor saturated fat and meat. We will know whether this is true when they appear, and I will be sure to report on them when they do. In the meantime, the meat industry is hard at work to try to convince you that meat is good for you and the more the better.

Weekend reading: protein
Alert to readers: Amazon.com displays listings for several more workbooks, study guides, and cookbooks purportedly based on my book, What to Eat Now (see previous post on this). I did not write any of them. Caveat emptor! ___________________________ Protein is the #1 food marketing trend for 2026 and is expected to be a big issue in the forthcoming 2025-2030 dietary guidelines.
