    new recommendation is between 1.2 and 1.6g/kg

    Says literally who?

    You’re clearly talking about the 2025–30 DGA, and it’s published by the USDA. Specifically, those 2025 guidelines are signed “This is the foundation that will Make America Healthy Again” by RFK Jr. It’s so obviously a financial response by animal agriculture and a social one by Republicans to the rise of plant-based dieting (whose health benefits can easily be numerous) that it’s excruciating.

    RFK Jr. is the same man who had an inverted pyramid introduced to the HHS. So yes, I’m going to say you’re absolutely, categorically delusional if you take those numbers at face value. By all means, though, I’m sure bear corpse is packed with protein if that’s your thing.

      I think it was on Harvard website, but they might be referencing these new guidelines you mentioned.

      Not sure why you’re being so aggressive. I’m neither delusional, nor a Republican, not even an American. I’m just trying to navigate my own poorly researched health issues, and it doesn’t help that searching in English has become unreliable due to dear Americans electing insane people into power.

        I can’t speak for them, but when I get angry and frustrated it can come through as aggressiveness, and I am very angry and frustrated with what has been done to the HHS (to say nothing of the rest of the US federal government). At this point, I would double check the source of any health claim, and ignore it if it comes from the HHS in 2025 to now. I’ll be getting my health information from the NIH or Health Canada for the time being. I don’t know that they are as well funded or reliable as the HHS has been historically, but at least the guys in charge of them are not literally insane on matters of health.
