New U.S. Dietary Guidelines Released - Slashfood
Photo: Alex Wong / Getty ImagesThe government has released its new dietary guidelines, and they basically tell us what we already know -- we should be eating less junk. Every five years, these nutritional suggestions are updated to reflect current scientific findings and the current state of our country's health,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but this year's big reveal didn't contain any bombshells.The main advice? Lower meat, sugar, fat and salt consumption; eat more fruits, vegetables and fish (even pregnant women). The message: "Enjoy your food,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but eat less."The USDA did revive an old food villan: salt. According to the new guidelines, no one should consume more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day (that's about one teaspoon), and those at risk of high blood pressure should have even less. On average, Americans consume about twice that, thanks primarily to processed foods. (There's a reason those Cheetos are delicious.)The most outrageous rebuttal comes from the Salt Institute, who, admittedly, isn't having a good week. According to the Washington Post,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reps from the Institute argue that cutting salt levels in foods would actually make the obesity epidemic worse because it would "[drive] people to eat more overall to satisfy their desire for salt." Uh, right.The full guidelines can be downloaded right here through Health.gov. Will it have any effect on your shopping list?
The Court of Appeal pointed out that R and F's submission in the county court was of overt, conscious racism, and it was not prepared to find that there had been unconscious discrimination.The decisionThe Court of Appeal said that, unlike the ordinary civil claim where the judge decides, on the claimant's evidence only, whether the claimant has made out a case, in this case the judge had had the benefit of the whole of the evidence. Despite the school's failure to comply with the statutory requirements, the judge had been entitled to find on the basis of all the evidence that R and F had not proved racial discrimination.
