I think even more than the diet industry, it's the processed food companies that absolutely OWN the FDA, and thus these guidelines.
Check out the below graphic, also from https://www.nutritioncoalition.us/. Of "experts" who advise about the nutrition guidelines, 95% of them have conflicts of interest with either big processed food companies, or big pharma.
