Who is in charge of developing the dietary guildlines?

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are published jointly every 5 years by the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA), as mandated by Congress. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) bases its recommendations almost exclusively on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. There is a lot of controversy over whether lobbyists and special interests have undue influence over the final recommendations. The USDA is charged with, among other things, promoting the nation's agricultural businesses. Top USDA positions have been filled over the years with former executives from Monsanto, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the National Pork Board, the National Pork Producers Council, the National Livestock and Meat Board, the Packers and Stockyards Administration, the Meat Export Federation, Infinity Pork, and ConAgra Foods. In addition to promoting this industry, the USDA is supposed to be regulating it, and, every five years, it tells Americans what to eat (and therefore which industry products to buy). The USDA has, for its entire existence, promoted eggs, meat, dairy, and grains as key components of a healthy diet, because the United States agricultural industry makes a lot of profit selling eggs, meat, dairy, and grains. For each revision of the Guidelines, an Advisory Committee of nutrition scientists, epidemiologists, and researchers debate the latest evidence on virtually every aspect of diet, nutrition, and health. Prior to 2000, the USDA had refused to disclose whether any members of the Advisory Committee might have conflicts of interest. But in December 2000, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) won a suit against the USDA, and showed that six of the eleven members assigned to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee had financial ties to meat, dairy, and egg interests. The Independent Scientific Review Panel peer-reviews the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans to ensure that they were based on the preponderance of the scientific evidence. Of the eight members of the Panel, seven are Registered Dietitians (RDs) and members of the ADA. Therefore, the ADA, which bases its recommendations on the USDA Dietary Guidelines, provides the bulk of the panel that determines whether the Dietary Guidelines are based on science. A Congressional investigation revealed that the ADA receives over $1 million a year in payments from pharmaceutical companies and an undisclosed amount from companies such as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Hershey. The ADA's continuing education courses for RD's are being taught by the Coca-Cola Company's Beverage Institute. After the Committee releases its report, the government invites the public to weigh in with their comments. Anyone can provide input, but the majority of the comments come from lobbyists for special interests, who contest any recommendations that would hurt sales of their products. The Sugar Association, for example, argued that there was insufficient evidence to support a recommendation that Americans cut back on sugar. The National Pork Producers fought recommendations to cut back on meat consumption, because such recommendations would hurt consumers by limiting their intake of high-quality protein, such as pork. In response to criticism that the Dietary Guidelines are unduly influenced by vested interests in the food industry, the Harvard School of Public Health, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, and PCRM, among other organizations, publish their own dietary guidelines.
