Dietary Guidelines Announced
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans reinforce the important role good nutrition plays in building healthy lives. The good news is the nutrient-rich beef already enjoyed by more than 95 percent of Americans will help them meet these new Guidelines.
The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee noted the Meat & Beans Group is the only food group Americans currently eat within the MyPyramid recommendations. The surprising fact is that Americans, on average, eat 1.7 oz of beef every day, well within the 5-7 ounce recommended from this Group for a healthy diet. Americans can feel good about choosing lean beef because the science shows beef's high-quality protein and essential nutrients make good diets better - improving overall nutrient intake and diet quality, and contributing to positive health outcomes like weight management.
