Best Answer

USDA stands for the United States Department of Agriculture.

A criticism of this department promulgating nutritional information is that this bureaucracy is more interested in selling food than in nutrition.

For example, most Americans believe that dairy products are essential to nutrition but the longer lifespans of people in Japan who do not traditionally eat dairy products proves that the information put out can be incorrect.
