It was a big day for school lunch programs,

for uh school districts, houses of worship,

food served at military bases. People trying

to figure out, "What should I be eating?" And

we have ended an era of medical dogma where

in the past, the only thing that has been recommended

is to avoid fat. And fat was the boogeyman for

really no good scientific reason except that

it was the dogma passed on generation to generation.

We are no longer uh recommending high cereal,

uh bread, grain, um, uh pasta, uh food pyramid

base—that is the the big part of the food pyramid.

We are moving on to a scientific-based approach

to say we need more protein. There's not enough

protein in the diet of the vast majority of

kids. We've increased the protein guideline

by 50 to 100%. Uh you want whole grains, that

is grains bound to fiber, fruits and vegetables.

And there's nothing wrong with fat. You don't

need to serve kids low-fat foods like low-fat

dairy. Uh these are natural, healthy saturated

fats, and we say that in the report.
