Biden-Harris diet panel to elevate plant proteins over meat in snub to farm voters

A dietary health committee from the Biden-Harris administration is poised to issue guidelines for people in the United States recommending that plant-based proteins supplant animal-based proteins, such as beef, chicken, and eggs.

The recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, which are reevaluated every five years, are slated to arrive by the end of the year after the 2024 election. In the meantime, though, the plan to downgrade animal-based proteins could hurt Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances with swing state voters in farming communities.
