"In case you're not getting enough news from the US, last Wednesday health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr released a statement on the types of food he thinks Americans should be eating. He wants to Make America Healthy Again. Part of his recommendation, however, overturns 36 years of advice, inverting what is known as the food pyramid. Instead of low amounts of red meat and full-fat dairy products, he recommends consuming more."
"Despite concerns among experts about the over-consumption of red meat and dairy now, some of the US health secretary's advice is spot on. Part of his recommendation, however, overturns 36 years of advice, inverting what is known as the food pyramid. These constitute what RFK Jr calls "real food" and he wants Americans to eat more of it. He's also saying eat less whole grains than previously recommended."
A recent U.S. dietary recommendation advocates increased consumption of red meat and full-fat dairy while advising reduced intake of whole grains. The guidance characterizes red meat and full-fat dairy as "real food" and urges Americans to eat more of them. The recommendation overturns 36 years of prior guidance by inverting the conventional food pyramid that previously emphasized limited red meat and low-fat dairy. Concerns exist about current overconsumption of red meat and dairy, but parts of the guidance align with calls to focus on unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods. The recommendation frames the dietary shift as a path to improved national health.
