Omari Richins, MPH of Public Health Careers podcast critiques the new US dietary guidelines, arguing that they prioritize industry interests over public health.

Omari compares these guidelines with those of other wealthy nations, highlighting the detrimental health outcomes associated with high red meat consumption.
