The USDA and the Health and Human Services are seeking public comments for the proposed topics of focus for the development of the upcoming 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines.
According to the departments’ joint announcement of this move, it is a first. “The American taxpayer is an essential customer—indeed, a shareholder,” said Brandon Lipps, acting deputy under secretary for the food, nutrition, and consumer services at USDA, the administrative lead for the 2020-2025 guidelines, in the announcement.
“We’re proud to be taking this important step forward towards greater transparency and ensuring that the American public’s voice is heard throughout this process.” Comments will be accepted online for all of March.
