Tag: 2015 dietary guidelines

The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines represented a significant shift in nutritional thinking, with official recommendations moving away from a singular focus on individual nutrients to emphasizing comprehensive 'eating patterns'. The guidelines are a trusted resource for public health policy and education across the United States.

In the United States, less than 10% of people meet the recommendations for fruit and vegetable intake. The 2015 recommendation of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans shifted its focus from single nutrients to overall healthy eating patterns, a significant change that aimed to address this nutritional gap by providing more flexible guidance for consumers.
