Bitcoin Beef Bits on Nostr: In 1977, the Senate committee that told Americans to eat less fat and more ...
In 1977, the Senate committee that told Americans to eat less fat and more carbohydrates was being actively shaped by grain and sugar industry lobbyists during the drafting process.
The recommendations that came out aligned with their commercial interests. This is not a fringe claim. It is documented.
McGovern later lost his Senate seat in part because the meat and dairy industries opposed the fat reduction guidance. The document became the foundation of dietary recommendations for the next generation.
