2) NEW DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS
The USDA and HHS have just released new Dietary Guidelines for Americans. According to a review from Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, the new guidelines devote more attention to vegetarian and vegan diets than any previous version of the Guidelines. The new Guidelines devote two full pages to vegetarian and vegan nutrition and point out that these eating patterns provide nutritional advantages and reduce obesity, heart disease, and overall mortality.
