Last Chance for Comments to the USDA

Submitted by Dana on Wed, 2010-07-14 11:20

Time is running out to submit your comments regarding the USDA Nutritional Guidelines. I just submitted mine; they read:

I've been concerned with nutrition since my teens, and thanks to the ubiquitous low fat/high complex carb recommendations I whole-grained-and-beaned my way up to 200 pounds at 5'2". 15 years of a low carb diet loaded with meat, eggs, cheese, butter, and bacon grease have left me 140 pounds, bursting with energy at 51, and with blood work that my doctor agrees is terrific. Your own documents indicate that the advice you're planning to give -- more of the same low fat/high carb garbage -- DOESN'T WORK. Shame on you. Why are you working for Archer Daniels Midland and Monsanto instead of for the American People?

Please, raise your voice against this dangerous advice, not to mention this abuse of your tax dollars.

I'd LOVE to "weigh in" on

I'd LOVE to "weigh in" on this, but the link above gives me a message that I'm not authorized to view that page. Can you help?

Link broken?

Worked for me; Mr. Webmaster, do you know what's wrong?

In the meanwhile, google "USDA Dietary Guidelines public comments", and see what happens. Best suggestion.

The link is not on our site,

The link is not on our site, so I don't really have any control over it. That site wants a login of some kind in order for you to actually leave a public comment, but I have no trouble viewing the page or seeing the list of people who have commented.

Good job
