Trump White House Debuts RFK-Approved New Food Pyramid: Gov ‘Has Been Lying to Us to Protect Corporate Profits’
Trump's White House rolled out a revamped food pyramid on Wednesday to coincide with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's call for Americans to "eat real food."
The new food pyramid emphasizes eating more protein from meats and fish, dairy and fruit and vegetables at the top and less whole grains at the bottom. The change is the opposite of old federal food pyramids, which recommended consuming grains as a strong portion of a diet and protein as a small portion.
Sweeping changes prioritize protein and fats over processed carbs, challenging decades of dietary dogma and setting the stage for a major public health debate.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared images of a new food pyramid that essentially flips the old one upside down.
The new dietary guidelines call for prioritizing high-quality protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Foods to avoid or limit are highly processed foods, refined carbohydrates and added sugars. The "food pyramid" has literally been turned upside down.
