"Today marks a decisive change in federal nutrition policy, made possible by President Trump's leadership, and the work of MAHA moms and public health advocates who demanded reform. New guidelines recognize that whole-nutrient dense food is the most effective path to better health and lower health care costs. Protein and healthy fats are essential, and were wrongly discouraged in prior dietary guidelines."
"Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best-case scenario, I don't think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize. And there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way. So there is alcohol on these dietary guidelines, but the implication is don't have it for breakfast."
The Trump administration released new dietary guidelines that flipped the food pyramid, placing steak, cheese, and whole milk prominently. The guidelines shape foods served in schools, hospitals, prisons, military bases, and federal assistance programs and represent a significant shift in federal nutrition policy. The guidelines promote whole-nutrient dense food as the most effective path to better health and lower healthcare costs, assert that protein and healthy fats are essential, and state that alcohol functions as a social lubricant while cautioning against inappropriate timing of consumption.
