Comment: Prioritize Beans, Peas, and Lentils as Proteins in 2025 Dietary Guidelines!
Submit a model comment created by Salud America! to prioritize the consumption of plant-based proteins, including beans, peas, and lentils, in the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans!
Scientists are recommending more plant-based protein sources – beans, peas, and lentils – in the upcoming 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
The guidelines, which provide national nutrition recommendations, will be updated this year. A big contributor to the update is the Scientific Report from the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, which was submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Dec. 10, 2024.
The scientific report proposes to remove beans, peas, and lentils from the “vegetable” category, leave them solely in the “protein” category, and list them as prioritized proteins.
