The new Dietary Guidelines put Americans at risk. They promote full-fat dairy and meat despite clear links to diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. We petitioned for them to be withdrawn.

Animal experiments mislead medical research and fail to predict human drug effects about 95% of the time. Human-relevant methods—like organ-on-a-chip and AI modeling—are safer and more accurate. Stay up to date with how you can help replace animal tests: act.pcrm.org/sdnbb3ZD7kKk...

The new Dietary Guidelines are a mixed bag. It’s great to see more emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and limiting saturated fat—but they still promote meat and dairy, which are the top sources of that very same fat. We can do better. Read our full response: www.pcrm.org/news/news-re...

The new Dietary Guidelines include progress but still reflect industry influence. They promote meat and dairy linked to chronic disease instead of clearly prioritizing plant-based nutrition. Science should lead nutrition policy. Read more: www.pcrm.org/news/news-re...
