AMAC to Host Free Webinar on the New U.S. Food Pyramid: What Adults Over 50 Need to Know
Virtual Event on Thursday, February 26 at 2:00 p.m. ET
The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) will present a free educational webinar titled “The New Food Pyramid Changes Everything: What Adults Over 50 Need to Know” on Thursday, February 26, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This virtual event is open to the public and will be hosted online.
In this timely webinar, AMAC experts will break down the newly updated U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the redesigned “food pyramid” graphic — a major shift in federal nutrition guidance that affects how adults over 50 think about eating for health and longevity. The session will explain why decades of “low-fat, high-carb” advice has fallen out of favor and why prioritizing protein, healthy fats, and real foods matters more than ever as we age.
Participants will learn:
- How the new food pyramid reflects updated dietary science and how it differs from previous models.
- Practical, actionable nutrition strategies that adults 50+ can start using right away to support energy, weight management, joint health, and metabolic wellbeing.
- Why protein — including sources like collagen — plays a foundational role in healthy aging.
The webinar will include a detailed overview of the new dietary recommendations followed by a live Q&A, allowing attendees to get expert insights tailored to their questions.
Featured Presenters:
- Melanie Griffin (Presenter)
- Elijah Magrane, Director of Product Development at NativePath — bringing more than 25 years of expertise in nutrition and food science.
