The government’s new nutritional recommendations arrive amid a pandemic that has taken a huge toll on American health.
Dr. Timothy Naimi, a member of the dietary guidelines advisory committee, said the guidelines “reaffirm two important but overlooked health messages”: that alcohol is “a dangerous substance” and that drinking less is better than drinking more at all levels of consumption.
Â
Critics were disappointed that the federal agencies had ignored the recommendations of the scientific advisory committee.
Â
“I’m stunned by the whole thing,” said Marion Nestle, a professor emerita of nutrition and food studies at New York University and author of several books on the government’s dietary guidelines.
Â
“Despite repeated claims that the guidelines are science-based, the Trump agencies ignored the recommendation of the scientific committee they had appointed, and instead reverted to the recommendation of the previous guidelines,” she said.

Doctors and nurses are risking their lives and dying. People are out of work and struggling to make rent. The president of the United States is suggesting injecting disinfectant.
Â
Doctors were quick to issue warnings. Isopropyl alcohol can shut down the central nervous system. Ingesting bleach can burn the esophagus, and is already a leading cause of household poisonings in the U.S., at 45,000 cases a year. Bleach is recommended for cleaning surfaces precisely because it so effectively destroys organic matter—which includes human tissue. Even administration officials pushed back; the head of the Food and Drug Administration, Stephen Hahn, told CNN, “I certainly wouldn’t recommend the internal ingestion of a disinfectant.”

When gyms sell themselves as a sense of identity, eventually they have to define what they stand for.

Considering how much time most Americans spend at work, CEOs could be the most effective motivators. Joyce Gioia, a futurist who specializes in workplace issues, says companies can foster activity through mandatory vacation periods, enforced end-of-day times, and support of remote working and flexible schedules. “Let people take a break for an hour and a half and bike 20 miles, if they want to, and then work until 7 o’clock in the evening,” Gioia says. “People can better engineer their lives.”
Maybe the best strategy of all is making exercise so ingrained in daily life that it becomes automatic, says Sagar Shah, the planning and community-health center manager at the American Planning Association, a group that advocates for thoughtful community planning. Take Arlington, Va., which topped the American College of Sports Medicine’s 2018 American Fitness Index rankings of the 50 largest metro regions in the U.S. in part because of its exemplary funding for and access to parks, paths and green spaces. Thanks to 49 miles of safe paths, Arlington households make three times more trips by foot, bike or transit than other households in the D.C. region, according to a report from the county’s transportation and development department.

It’s a place, one of many in America, where disadvantages pile up. Researchers are uncovering links between education — or lack of it — and health, and they don’t like what they see. It’s not clear whether a college degree leads directly to better health, or, if so, how. But the findings are alarming: Educational disparities and economic malaise and lack of opportunity are making people like those in the Bootheel sick. And maybe even killing them.
