The federal government has released new dietary guidelines, introducing an emphasis on consuming meat and dairy and avoiding highly processed foods.

New nutrition guidance announced by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., introduces an inverted food pyramid prioritizing protein, dairy, and vegetables over processed foods and added sugars.

The new guidelines double down on protein, upping the daily amount — and recommending red meat be part of the mix. But Stange notes that “red meat has been categorized as a ‘probable’ carcinogen,” meaning it likely increases cancer risk.

The U.S. dietary guidelines on January 7 sparked backlash over the beef and dairy ties in the expert panel shaping food advice.

The new pyramid is the picture of the Make America Healthy Again movement, prioritizing whole foods, proteins and fats.
