The first meeting of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) has been set for June 13-14, 2013. At this meeting the DGAC will review its charge, identify procedures that the committee will follow through the entire process and identify topics to examine for the 2015 Dietary Guidelines. You can attend the meetings in-person (the sessions will be held at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.) or through a webinar.  If you plan to attend in-person or via webinar, you must register at www.dietaryguidelines.gov. I will be attending and will provide an update to IDFA’s Nutrition Working Group.  I will also be working with that group to consider submitting oral or written comments to the DGAC.
