Trump admin's new nutrition guidelines

The Trump administration is updating federal nutrition guidelines, focusing on reducing ultra-processed foods and encouraging consumption of whole foods. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. emphasized that these changes are aimed at improving health and reducing healthcare costs, stating,

"If a foreign adversary sought to destroy the health of our children...there would be no better strategy than to addict us to ultra-processed foods."

The new guidelines will impact school meals and government food programs. Food pyramids will reflect a focus on healthy fats and proteins, contrasting previous recommendations. Leaders like Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins highlighted the role of American farmers in this health initiative.

A new website call real foods was also launched.
