Thanks for this, Demi. It's a very balanced article accurately outlining the dietary camps attempting to update the DGA. Journalism like this is a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, all previous versions of the DGA assumed a healthy individual was eating to the recommendations. We know that's far from true even though the DGA "keepers" won't admit it. Also, I'd prefer to see low carb described as not having a meat emphasis. There are many who do well with a low carb vegetarian approach. If these camps could step away from their preoccupation with the "crusades," they might even find they can agree on much. It's not a zero-sum game.
