Tucked inside the U.S. government’s latest update to its official eating advice is this recommendation: "Drink water instead of sugary drinks"—also known as soda.
    The frankness of this statement is remarkable, in part, because the Dietary Guidelines released Thursday are, in other ways, anything but direct. For instance, as we’ve reported, instead of explicitly telling Americans to cut their intake of red and processed meats, as an advisory panel of nutrition experts had recommended, the final guidelines hint at meat reduction in subtle terms. That change in messaging may have been linked to pressure from the meat industry.
    By contrast, the government’s language on choosing water over sugary drinks is as clear as a glass of pure water. It is not, however, all that easy to find. We spotted it inside this MyPlate, My Wins tip sheet, part of a new campaign the U.S. Department of Agriculture also launched Thursday.
    MyPlate, if you recall, is the symbol of a dinner plate divided into portions of fruits and vegetables, grains and proteins that replaced the food pyramid released four years ago. MyPlate is for the general public. It’s an image that ends up in nutrition education materials in doctor’s offices, textbooks, school cafeterias and lots of other places.
5. What’s the U.S. government’s latest official eating advice?

解析 新闻中提到,最终的膳食指南只是用不明确的字眼(subtle terms)来建议来降低食肉类,作出这一改变可能与来自肉类制造业的压力有关(pressure from the meat industry),故A正确。
