New Year's greetings!   Imagine most of you are busy getting your Spring semester underway.   I wanted to share a few links and resources to assist with integration of content about the new 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA).   We are in the process of updating digital content, instructor resources and ancillaries to reflect the updated DGA.  In the meantime, here is a set of slides from USDA/HHS (I've added a new slide that provides an overview as slide #2) that you can adapt to incorporate into your Chapter 2 slides that address the DGA: https://vanderbilt.box.com/s/t3eco23uru17ui6d6nnlz4tiihf9lu2q .  Below are a few links for easy navigation to DGA resources at dietaryguidelines.gov.  I've also included an article from Food Navigator that highlights some of the concerns - as always, there is always some criticism and controversy surrounding each release of the DGA:
