Govt Plan
Days count down to 31 Dec 2030.
Red $ is a demo US disease-cost ticker at $1.1T/yr — verify before public use.
Green $ is NIH money behind studies in this corpus (each grant counted once). Unpriced studies are unknown, not free.
Define is the five-stage bar (mapped → reduced). Only stages 1–2 can be computed from this corpus today. Reduce ≠ eliminate: the diet-attributable share, not zero disease.
Spend splits the disease-cost ticker. That split is also a demo estimate.
Reduce diet-related disease by 2030
see detaildemo $1.1T/yr
- 2022 originAnnounced at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, with more than $8B in public-and-private commitments. The 2022 National Strategy is on the action tracker below — superseded in practice, no progress report located.
- MAHA alignmentMake America Healthy Again uses a similar chronic-disease reduction horizon. It sits next to the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines, which steer toward whole foods and away from ultra-processed items.
- Why 2030, not 2029Decennial marks line up with the census, long-run surveillance, and decade-scale public-health programs. 2030 is a reporting year — not a claim that reduction is happening.

- 1 · MAPPED — every major diet→disease edge extracted, pooled, and graded. The corpus sees it.
- 2 · KNOWLEDGE CLOSED — no contested edges; every verdict settled as strong consensus or consensus-on-no-effect; the gap engine prescribes nothing. We know what works.
- 3 · DELIVERING — population intake moving toward the minimum-risk level; the binding constraint is no longer knowledge. People can and do act on it.
- 4 · BENDING — observed incidence tracks the 2030 target pace. The curve responds.
- 5 · REDUCED — diet-attributable burden held at its floor for 5+ years; any regression revokes the status. It stays down.
Reduce ≠ eliminate: the claim is bounded by each disease's diet-attributable ceiling — the preventable share prevented, not zero disease. Stages 1–2 are computed live from this corpus (chips on the bench below); stages 3–5 need the tracker's intake and trajectory wiring and stay unclaimed until then. Fail-closed: a stage no data can prove is a stage not shown.

US Govt action tracker
Intent mapping is editorial demo — an initiative "aims at" a disease per its stated scope, not proven effect. Money order from the cost strip above. A row with nothing aimed at it is the finding. Verify before public use.
Categorization of the 30 food and nutrition actions follows a published legal analysis of the strategy document, not an official breakdown. Square positions carry no meaning — counts only. The empty grid is the finding; fills wire to the accountability tracker when statuses publish.

Health outcomes
Paste a claim and it is matched against the association ledger — same edges as the groups below. It reads only this corpus. It does not search the literature, judge the source, or grade a claim the corpus has not extracted.Paste a health or diet claim
What this does
- 1 · MATCH — parses the claim for an exposure and an outcome, then finds the association rows that carry both.
- 2 · DIRECTION — reads whether the claim asserts benefit or harm, and compares it with the pooled direction.
- 3 · VERDICT — returns that edge's agreement verdict, pooled effect, GRADE certainty, and study count.
- 4 · GAP — if the evidence is thin or contested, names the study the gap engine says would settle it.
- 5 · MECHANISM soon — Show the science will walk the edge's mechanism chain from the Biology as Code pathway set (26 principles ride in the payload today; the walk is not built yet).
Fail-closed: a claim with no matching edge returns NOT IN CORPUS, never a guess. Verdicts are the ledger's. Browse the same outcomes by system below.
Claim language
Structure–function marketing vocabulary — the words on the front of the package, not evidence. Demo set of 120; the full claim database wires in here later. Tap a phrase to filter the ledger by its outcome group.
Outcomes classify into groups by name at render time, so a corpus with dozens of diseases sorts itself; anything unrecognized lands in "Other" instead of disappearing. Tap an outcome to open it in the ledger; "filter ledger" applies the whole group as an advanced filter.

Standardization by layer in nutrition science
nine layers, 0–8 · share of each layer both standardized and in routine useScores are calibrated judgments, not measurements — each blends the maturity of available standards with their observed adoption in published data and literature. The audit's master finding: maturity and adoption diverge sharply — excellent standards exist and go unused. Hover a row for the one-line why. Sources: research_/standardization-by-layer.pdf · “Nutrition Science Standardization: A Nine-Layer Stack Audit and Recalibration.”
The ○ benchmark rows come from the eleven-field scoreboard in research_/standard_study.md, toggleable above. Metrology proper (BIPM / ISO 17025) is the physics pole — the corpus scores no field named “physics”; metrology is its measurement regime (the book's rule: “the closer a claim sits to chemistry and physics, the more standardized it is”). Clinical trials / regulatory pharma is the cross-field study's recommended primary analogue for nutrition; chemistry and astronomy are explicitly flagged there as flattering nutrition. All benchmark scores are calibrated judgments and defensible relative rankings, not precise measurements — ordinal, not interval. The dashed line sits at the selected benchmark's weakest layer — an editorial threshold; no document in the repo defines a numeric “standardized” cutoff. Layer 9 has no comparator scores.
Baseline note — canonical as of 2026-08-15. Four inconsistent nine-layer baselines circulated in the corpus. Per the Stack Audit's Stage-2 recommendation, the canonical score set is the audit recalibration (55 · 60 · 33 · 30 · 12 · 35 · 60 · 8 · 8 + linkage ~15) — the default view above, and the calibration every cross-field comparison is stated against. The “as charted” set (60 · 65 · 35 · 45 · 15 · 40 · 55 · 5 · 10, research_/standardization-by-layer.pdf) is retained only as the superseded book-figure estimate.

The definition register — terms the system runs on
16 terms · four states · chips open the federal documentsUltra-processed food
Reduction directed across federal child nutrition programs. Joint FDA/USDA request for information, docket FDA-2025-N-1793, 25 July 2025 (90 FR 35305); comment period extended to 23 October; 5,136 comments received. The notice itself states that no single universally accepted definition exists. A document sits at OMB under RIN 0910-ZD60 as a white paper, not a rule — no legal deadline.
Highly processed food
Used in place of “ultra-processed” in the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines, released 7 January 2026, which direct Americans to avoid highly processed packaged, prepared, and ready-to-eat foods. Also not federally defined — one undefined term substituted for another.
Natural
FDA requested comments 28 December 2015; the period closed 10 May 2016 with 4,148 comments; no proposed rule followed. FDA operates a policy statement rather than a regulation. Among the most common claims on new U.S. food products — and among the most litigated.
Real food
The tagline of the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines and the name of the domain hosting them. No definition anywhere in federal regulation.
Nutrient-dense
Used throughout the Guidelines, including in the protein recommendation. Described but not defined quantitatively. Competing profiling systems — NRF, Nutri-Score, Health Star Rating — rank the same foods differently.
High-quality protein
Appears in the Guidelines' central recommendation. DIAAS and PDCAAS exist as scoring methods; neither is the basis of a federal definition of the term as used.
Refined carbohydrate
Appears in the same recommendation. No federal definition.
Whole grain
FDA draft guidance issued 2006, never finalized. USDA operates a separate whole-grain-rich standard for school meals. A third definition is maintained privately by a trade council.
Clean label
Commercial only — no definition in any jurisdiction. Listed because it drives reformulation decisions at scale.
Dietary fiber
FDA established a labeling definition in the 2016 Nutrition Facts rule; Codex modified its definition in 2009. The definition exists — yet multiple validated analytical methods still return systematically different values for the same food, because they count different components. See Layer 1 — Method, above.
Protein
Defined operationally as total nitrogen multiplied by a conversion factor. The factor is food-specific, several remain under revision, and FAO/WHO revisited them for soy and milk ingredients as recently as 2020. A definition that specifies a proxy.
Unassignable
A formal evidence grade, distinct from limited — the evidence could not be graded at all. The 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee applied it to the ultra-processed-food evidence for various populations. Thirteen months later the Guidelines issued a population-wide directive on that category. The grade lives in an advisory report; the directive lives in policy; no mechanism connects them.
Healthy
Regulated since 1994. The original criteria excluded nuts, salmon, avocados, olive oil, and eggs while permitting sweetened cereals. Proposed rule 29 September 2022; final rule 19 December 2024; effective 25 February 2025; compliance 25 February 2028. Roughly nine years from trigger to final rule — thirty-four from the original definition.
Serving size
Defined by FDA as Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed. Defined, enforced, and not in dispute.
Food insecurity
USDA maintains an 18-item measurement module with defined thresholds — the clearest case in nutrition of a construct successfully operationalized. Collection was terminated in September 2025.
Register from the book's data audit — dockets, dates, and comment counts as recorded there; route through the verification queue before public use. External chips open regulations.gov, the Federal Register, eCFR, FDA, USDA, and ODPHP.
Closed by standardization
Deficiency diseases that closed once the finding itself was standardized — the molecule, the disease name, the assay, the threshold, and the intervention. That is a different claim from the 2030 stage-5 chip on the dashboard (diet-attributable chronic burden held for 5+ years).Held — US population floor is essentially gone as a named deficiency disease.
Reduced — the finding and the intervention are standardized; residual cases remain.
Open — cause is standardized; delivery is not closed.
Layer squares match the nine-layer stack above. Filled = that layer is closed for this finding. Hatch = partial. Empty = still open. Editorial register from the claim spine — verify before public use.
These rows are the claim-spine deficiency diseases whose cause is no longer contested.
