About this episode

Molly Kimball discusses the implications of the new Dietary Guidelines and what they mean for nutrition and policy.

Butter, beef tallow and protein targets have dominated the conversation around the new Dietary Guidelines — but the real story is bigger. In this episode, I explain why these guidelines matter for policy, schools and food manufacturing, break down what the science supports on protein and full-fat dairy and address the softer stance on alcohol. If you’re looking for a grounded, practical interpretation of what actually deserves your attention, this episode delivers it.
