Vegan nutritional guidelines concept

Dietary guidelines in the U.S. are almost completely bogus. They were severely influenced by lobbyists, not doctors, and are not grounded in health science. That’s why, to this day, they have heavily promoted eating meat, dairy, and eggs – even though this is not what’s best for us or the Earth.

As a result, these guidelines have been fueling Climate change and wide-ranging health issues by encouraging inappropriate levels of meat consumption for generations. Yet the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been unwilling to change its dietary recommendations. Why? Because of those same factory farm lobbyists we mentioned earlier.

It’s also responsible for poisoning our bodies with food-based carcinogens, to the point that the WHO has gotten involved by labeling meat as frightening cancer-causing. On top of that, factory farms have faced significant lawsuits recently for poisoning the air and water of low-income and BIPOC communities near industrial farms with toxic feces-infused waste.

Please sign this petition to urge the USDA to rewrite its dietary guidelines that promoted the use of meat, dairy, and egg products.
