Congressman Flood: Federal Agencies Should Reject Anti-Meat Diet Recommendations

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood issued a statement following the announcement of new recommendations from the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.

“The far left’s war on your grocery list is expanding. In this latest volley, the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has taken aim not only at meat, but also at potatoes and other foods that are staples of a healthy diet. Meat is the most efficient way to deliver protein, and potatoes contain basic nutrients like potassium and Vitamin C. Meat and potatoes underpin our country’s food security. I urge both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to reject these ill-informed recommendations and the activist thinking which is trying to reshape our diets and the way of life for the farm families who grow our food.”
