RFK Jr.'s New Dietary Guidelines Say No Added Sugar For Kids Under 10, More Red Meat & Full-Fat Dairy
"Earlier this week, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Health and Human Services Department ordered changes to the CDC's recommended childhood vaccine schedule, a decision medical authorities denounced."
"HHS' announcement today states that more than 70% of Americans are overweight or obese, and 90% of health care spending in this country goes toward treating chronic illnesses. It claims "diet-driven chronic disease now disqualifies many young Americans from military service, threatening national readiness and limiting opportunity." The proposed solution is simple: "eat real food.""
""These Guidelines return us to the basics," Secretary Kennedy said. "American households must prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods - protein, dairy, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and whole grains - and dramatically reduce highly processed foods. This is how we Make America Healthy Again.""
HHS ordered changes to the CDC's recommended childhood vaccine schedule earlier this week, a decision medical authorities denounced. HHS and the Department of Agriculture announced a restructured national nutrition policy centered on "real food" to improve Americans' health. Federal dietary guidelines are updated every five years and heavily influence foods served in schools, hospitals, prisons, military bases and through federal assistance programs. HHS' announcement states more than 70% of Americans are overweight or obese and that 90% of health care spending goes toward treating chronic illnesses. The guidelines urge prioritizing whole, nutrient-dense foods, reducing highly processed foods, and recommend 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, a level the Times says lacks firm evidence for everyone.
