The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is taking testimony on proposed changes. The National Milk Producers Federation was pleased dairy remains its own category and does not allow the inclusion of plant-based drinks or foods. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association said the recommendations should identify beef as a lean meat option, recognizing cuts like sirloin. The committee also heard from organizations about its proposal to lower the amount of added sugars in the diet from less than ten percent of total calories to less than six percent.
