Dietary Guidelines Focus on Fresh, Nutrient-Dense Foods

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on Health and Human Service (HHS) and USDA’s newly released dietary guidelines.

“Farm Bureau appreciates HHS and USDA for recognizing the importance of America’s farmers and ranchers who grow a safe and nutritious food supply. The new dietary guidelines acknowledge the value of prioritizing high-quality protein, dairy, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Farm Bureau looks forward to working with the administration to ensure food policy decisions are grounded in science and easily understood so America’s families have confidence when stocking their pantries.”
