Help us remove dairy!

SAY IT WITH US: Cow’s milk is for baby cows! And wouldn’t it be more natural if THIS is how we got milk into our coffee each morning? Big Dairy has convinced humans that cow’s milk, not human milk, in our coffee is the norm, and we are taking a stand against the dairy industry for human health and food justice and we need your help.
Please take 60 SECONDS and make your voice heard by telling the DGA Advisory Committee that dairy does not deserve to be its own food category. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are released every five years by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). They provide advice on what to eat and drink to meet nutrient needs, promote health, and prevent disease. The guidelines especially impact ethnic minorities, low-income communities, and people who don’t eat like what is depicted on MyPlate. All public-funded nutrition programs and many private-run nutrition programs use the DGA as their guide to provide food or plan their meals. This includes WIC, SNAP, and the NSLP, to name a few. Therefore, changing the DGA is the most upstream intervention.
We are asking the DGA Committee to remove dairy as its own food group from the Dietary Guidelines in 2025. Please use the link below to submit your comment using our pre-filled form! It takes just 60 seconds to take a stand against Big Dairy and WE NEED YOU!
