The New Dietary Guidelines: Love Them or Hate Them?
Episode 65
Monday, 6 April, 2026
Text Dr. Black your questions or comments.The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released earlier this year and are generating a lot of dialogue. In spite of this, many people don’t actually know what they are, who they’re meant for, or how they’re created.In this episode, I walk through what the Dietary Guidelines for Americans are, why they exist, and how they influence the food environment around us—from school meals to public health messaging. I compare the newest 2025–2030 guidelines to the previous version, explain the shift in visuals from MyPlate to the new "Real Food" pyramid, and highlight key themes that are driving the current debate.We’ll take a closer look at what’s changed, how the guidelines are meant to be used, and why they’ve sparked such strong reactions across healthcare, nutrition, and social media. Most importantly, I’ll help you think about how to interpret the guidelines in a way that supports your health—without getting pulled into food wars or dietary extremes.To read the new DGA go to https://realfood.gov/For a side-by-side comparison of the old MyPlate graphic and the new Eat Real Food pyramid, see the show notes on the episode webpage here.
