We the people, petition the U.S. Government to enact change regarding the governmental agency responsible for researching and recommending the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA). It is our belief that the USDA is not capable of handling this mission due to conflict of interest related to its own mission, vision statement and continued influence of the food industry in dietary recommendations.
It is evident that the current dietary recommendations have not worked and have even exacerbated the situation.
The prevalence of diabetes, obesity and other symptoms associated with Metabolic syndrome should be considered a public health crisis requiring immediate attention and action of the U.S. Government.
