RFK Jr.’s new food pyramid ends ‘the war on saturated fats’

From NPR.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced new Dietary Guidelines for Americans focused on promoting whole foods, healthy proteins and healthy fats. The announcement also included the unveiling of a new food pyramid — with red meat, vegetables and fruits pictured at the top.

Secretary Kennedy described the new guidelines as the most significant reset on nutrition policy in history, calling for an end to policies that promote highly refined foods that are harmful to health. The guidelines will set limits on added sugar, and encourage diets that include meat and dairy.

The guidelines are highly influential, determining what’s served in school meals and on military bases as well as what’s included in federal food aid.
