The federal government announced its new dietary guidelines today, and along with the recommendations you might expect—turns out we all need to cut back on sugar—there’s one surprising conclusion: men and boys are eating too much protein.
The beef industry isn’t too thrilled by the suggestion that guys should consume less meat, poultry, and eggs. Still, they don’t have too much to complain about: the guidelines advisory committee originally recommended that Americans cut back on red meat, but officials in the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health nixed that advice.
