http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/dietaryguidelines.htm

The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion creates the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which are the “cornerstone” of the Federal nutrition policy and nutrition education activities. The CNPP was created within the U.S. Department of Agriculture on December 1, 1994, and reports to the Office of the Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services. CNPP’s mission is to improve the health of Americans by developing and promoting dietary guidance that links scientific research to the nutrition needs of consumers.
