Showing Original Post only (View all)RFK's *new* upside down FOOD PYRAMID. Thoughts? [View all]

The White House unveiled new dietary guidelines Wednesday, with officials calling it the most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in history, though many core recommendations stayed the same.
The guidelines are represented by an upside-down pyramid placing vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy and healthy fats at the top and whole grains at the bottom.
Although Kennedy repeatedly spoke in favor of eating more saturated fats, reiterating his aim of ending the war on saturated fats, the guidelines notably did not deviate from the long-held guidance to limit saturated fat consumption to 10 percent of daily intake.
During the press briefing Wednesday, Oz also offered clarification when it came to alcohol, saying, There is alcohol on these dietary guidelines, but the implication is dont have it for breakfast.
