Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will announce the new 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Monday at the Jack Morton Auditorium.

The DGA outlines ways to promote health and reduce the risk of obesity through nutritional and physical activity guidelines, and is amended every five years.

“The policy document assists policy makers, nutrition professionals, food assistance program administrators, food industry, scientists and academics, and the nutrition-focused media with a consistent, science-based foundation for their nutrition efforts,” according to a press release.”

Sebelius and Vilsack will announce the new DGA at 10 a.m. Jan. 31.
