New U.S. dietary guidelines

From What's New@National Academies:
New U.S. dietary guidelines call for Americans to reduce their calorie intake and increase their amount of exercise. Released yesterday by the departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, the guidelines form the basis for federal nutrition programs and will be used to update the U.S. food pyramid for the first time since it was developed 12 years ago. The new recommendations draw heavily from a series of Institute of Medicine reports that examine which nutrients are necessary for good health, and in what quantities.
