• Approximately 400,000 Americans a year die as a result of an unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle

• Ground beef adds more fat to the average American's diet than any other food

• A diet high in either saturated fat or red meat may raise the risk of colon and prostate cancers

• Consumers have a right to know the nutritional content of the ground beef sold in supermarkets

• The USDA should stop exempting ground beef and fresh meat from labeling rules that apply to all other foods

• Urge the USDA to require full "Nutrition Facts" labels on all fresh meat, ground beef, and poultry

• Ground beef should not be allowed to make "percent lean" claims unless it is low in fat
