Hannah Rosenfeld ‘27 wrote a piece for the Youth Environmental Press Team (YEPT) titled “Health & Environmental Impact of New Dietary Guidelines,” which looks at the federal government’s Dietary Guidelines for America (DGA).

The piece looks at the recommended consumption of dairy, and changes the current Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intend to make to increase recommendations. Hannah cites several sources negating the benefits of increasing current dairy recommendations and states that “it is likely that the new dietary regulations will lead to an increase in carbon emissions and directly harm human health.”
