Let’s talk about meat—what it means for health, how it’s talked about in dietary guidelines, and why there’s so much debate about its role on the plate.
In this lively session, three respected voices will share very different perspectives on animal protein:
Dr. Anthony Chaffee, advocate of the carnivore diet, offering a firsthand look at why some are pushing back hard on mainstream recommendations.
Dr. Dustin Moore of California State University, Long Beach, Assistant Director for the Graduate Program in Applied Nutrition and Dietetics, faculty in Nutrition and Dietetics. Dr. Moore brings expertise in public health nutrition, dietetics education, and translating research into healthy dietary guidance. 
Before the discussion begins, we will kick things off with a quick look at current consumer trends around meat and nutrition—what people are buying, eating, and asking for—by Melissa Rodriguez from Circana.
You’ll hear:
•    Where the experts agree (and where they definitely don’t)
•    What the debate means for consumers, healthcare, and industry
•    How associations like the Meat Institute can support a better, more balanced conversation
•    And what your role might be in shaping the story going forward. 

This session is about bringing everyone to the table—science, experience, and curiosity welcome. Join us for a respectful, thought-provoking conversation to close out the Solutions Summit with energy, insight, and action.
