Want to have a say in the next round of Dietary Guidelines?

Think the Food Pyramid is a crock? Think the government's dietary recommendations are overly influenced by food commodity and other commercial interests? Now's your chance to put in your two cents' worth.

A panel of scientists is now considering what changes should be made in the most recent set (2005) of Dietary Guidelines for Americans for the upcoming 2010 recommendations. They've invited the public to comment--but few are aware that this is going on.

Who's commenting? Professional groups, independent researchers, health policy agencies, and LOTS of food commodity and industry groups. You can read the comments that have been submitted (and/or submit your own) at the USDA website. See also this related story from the L.A. Times.
