Reporters Get a Heads Up on the New Dietary Guidelines

In case you missed this Washington Post article about the forthcoming, new, Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Its worth a read.

Interestingly enough theres some targeted advice for doctors and dietitians that might actually translate to the people who report on said doctors and dieticians — “We can’t load people down with different messages,” said the USDA’s Robert Post. “We have to focus on practical, simple, easily applied messages that show action that consumers can take.”

Expect there to be some practical, simple, easily applied messages about seafood in those guidelines that may help cut down on some of the noise and disinformation created by those with agendas outside the realm of getting Americans to eat better.
