More beans and less red meat: Nutrition experts weigh in on US dietary guidelines (apnews.com)

Summary

A U.S. nutrition panel recommends the 2025 dietary guidelines focus on increasing vegetables, legumes, and whole grains while reducing red and processed meats, added sugars, and saturated fats.

The panel, using a "health equity lens," also highlighted the role of income and culture in dietary habits.

However, it avoided conclusions on ultraprocessed foods and alcohol due to insufficient evidence.

Most Americans fail to meet current guidelines, with over half facing diet-related chronic conditions. Public feedback is invited, and final guidelines will be released in 2025 by HHS and USDA.

Yep. 50 lb bag of pinto beans at Sams cost around $20 and fed me for 6 months (I ate more than just that tho, lol). I throw in random junk when I make them for flavor, including meat. But the beans are doing the heavy lifting. I estimate less than a buck for a bean meal that's high protein and nutritious.

Yup. One of my go-to meals in college was Spanish style yellow rice and black beans. Add in some cilantro at the end and some good quality cayenne hot sauce (like Trappey Joes). Super cheap per meal.

Pinto beans can also attract weevils if stored improperly, as an added bonus 😄

Sounds like extra protein to me. I'm gonna make the infestation their problem, not mine

Weevils are friends, not food.
