In part 2 of our episodes on dietary guidelines, we get to the bottom of the latest iteration of these guidelines and investigate which changes are good (there are a few), which are bad (definitely a few there), and which are somewhere in between. Then we explore what science has actually shown about what constitutes a “healthy” diet. Tune in for a lively discussion that features lots of complaining about protein-enriched products, exasperated sighs, and a few shocking revelations about “the American diet.” Support this podcast by shopping our latest sponsor deals and promotions at this link: https://bit.ly/3WwtIAu See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.","meta_description":"If you’ve come across the latest dietary guidelines, a few things may have caught your attention: a big ol’ steak front and center in the new…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3551,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/this-podcast-will-kill-you-226711/episodes/ep-209-dietary-guidelines-part-2-why-is-there-protein-in-everything/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-podcast-will-kill-you-226711/ep-209-dietary-guidelines-part-2-why-is-there-protein-in-everything.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
