Bravo. A really great summary.

Wow… I knew the food pyramid was problematic but had no idea about this RDA’s origins. And didn’t know “flesh makes flesh” was ever a thing 😬 But the protein needs are real… looking forward to more of this.

Love seeing the history. I didn’t realize RDA was based on wartime needs. Wow! Thankful we are finally starting to rectify this institutionally. Looking forward to part 2

That was very useful. Thanks for sharing. Good to know the historic evolution of various nutritional messaging.
