New RFK Jr.-Backed Dietary Guidelines Issued

“Trump administration officials made sweeping changes to U.S. federal dietary guidelines, recommending that people avoid highly processed foods, dramatically increase protein intake and skip added sugar,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The new guidelines issued Wednesday urge people to cook more meals at home, avoid packaged food like chips, cookies and candy—and eat protein at every meal. They echo the government’s previous advice that fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, seafood and nuts form the basis of a healthy diet.”

“But they also endorse foods like red meat and full-fat dairy, while taking a hard line against highly processed foods, added sugar and refined carbohydrates like white bread.”
