Navigating American Nutrition - One Size Fits All? (S9:E11)
Shownotes
Every five years, a massive set of rules, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), quietly changes the way 300 million people are "supposed" to eat. But who actually writes these rules? Is it pure science, or is it just the latest dietary trend?
In this episode, we sit down with April Fogelman to go behind the scenes of the federal nutrition recommendations that were recently updated. We’re digging into the evolution of American nutrition, from the nostalgia of the pyramid to today’s "upside-down" recommendations.
Dr. April Fogelman is a Dietician, Lactation Consultant, Associate Professor of Nutrition, and Extension Specialist in our department with interests ranging from infant nutrition to sports nutrition. In addition to her work at NC State, she is an avid marathon runner.
