Do you agree with the Trump admin’s changes to the federal dietary guidelines?

Yes (43%) – "Absolutely agree! It is refreshing to see a pyramid that isn't chasing a fad or special dieting trend. Ultraprocessed foods and man made variants through chemical processes are no substitute for what nature delivers. We didn't become the fat nation by eating healthy and our current state demonstrates the decades of bad nutritional advice and the effects of marketing and designer food."

• "For the first time, the administration is actually following science and research. Centering meals around protein and getting in more grams in throughout the day is backed by research and supports healthy bodies. No one needed as many grains as the old recommended MyPlate unless they were a long-distance runner!"

"We need to get back to basics. When these guidelines were first established, foods weren't as processed or refined so carbs and such were healthier. Now there are too many unhealthy and unnecessary additives in everything. Organic is a money making scam, just eat healthier and pay the reasonable price at the market, not 200% price increase for just a word on a label."

• "I've lived the newly recommended diet. I'm strong and healthy. My doctor attributes my good health to my diet and to exercise. My bones are strong because I drink milk, not sugar. I eat a small amount of carbs but mostly eat protein and veggies. I'm 82 and hope to live to be 100, like my mother, from whom I learned to eat healthy."

No (37%) – "Seems like it was driven by money and devised more by ranchers, importers who don’t care about the Amazon and who want cheep meat with a high markup, and dairy farmers rather than nutritional scientists. The part about ultra processed foods is good."

• "The advice to eat more meat is not in the interest of individual people or the planet. I suspect the meat industry (and dairy industry) had some deep pockets to fund this shift."

"The emphasis on red meat and dairy is alarming, as it is contradictory to science. Upon deeper investigation, the direct conflict of interest of the creators' connection to meat and dairy is glaring and showcases once again that this administration prioritizes profit over people."

• "By putting nearly everything at the top (with the exception of whole grains, which are proven to offer necessary complex fiber and nutrients) it removes all sense of "guidance". Additionally, some of the things they've raised up are proven to have negative impact if eaten too frequently. This will only reinforce the USA tendency to over consume red meat and fatty foods."

Unsure/other (20%) – "The changes made by this department have zero credibility in my book because of the vaccination stance and other recommendations previously made. It is clear this department is highly politicized and influenced by individuals with monetary goals. I’ll continue to listen to my doctors and other medical professionals outside of this administration’s guidelines."

• "Some of the nutritional guidance seems rational to me. But I'm less sure about the government's heavy emphasis on full-fat dairy and meat, which could potentially prove problematic."
