(3:30) Protein levels are better, but recommendations for fat macros are still off. Institutions will follow the written guidelines, which are not necessarily reflected in the upside-down pyramid graphic. Institutions, like schools, have contracts with Big Food companies, which will affect how closely they follow the guidelines. (12:15) Chris goes through some of the guidelines. (15:30) The fat intake recommendations are off, in Vinnie's experience. (24:00) Saturated fat is limited to 10% of all fats. (30:00) Vinnie believes these guidelines are good overall, but didn't go far enough. (33:00) Institutions, companies, congresspeople, and others would most likely push back on a larger sweeping change. Whole grains, packaged breakfast options, and processed foods are at the bottom of the upside-down pyramid, and rightly so. (41:30) Limiting ultra-processed foods and refined carbs is recommended. (46:00) No meal should contain more than 10g of added sugars. It even defines what "added sugars" are. The last point discusses sodium and electrolytes.
