Title: RFK Jr.’s New Food Pyramid
Post by: Lartinos on January 08, 2026, 07:01:46 PM
The Department of Agriculture has released a new set of dietary guidelines, and it includes a food pyramid that looks very different from the one you probably remember.

Championing protein and healthy fats while minimizing grains, the new nutrition recommendations, announced Jan. 7, are a departure from past government guidance. In fact, the accompanying food pyramid visual is a near complete inverse of what it once was, both visually and in terms of content.

In a White House news briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the announcement aligned with President Donald Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s promises to "Make America Healthy Again."

Agree, not a fan of generalized food pyramids because physiologies range all over the place. The new pyramid works for someone with lipids fully under control but with some insulin sensitivity (I eat that according to new pyramid) but the old pyramid might be better for someone with high cholesterol but normal blood sugar.

Looks like excellent common sense food advice. What took them so long? The processed food industry has way too much power and lobbyists. About time they get handcuffed.

Much better than what we were taught but also expensive.

I will remain skeptical of this pyramid until Wiggs lets me know who really built it.

"Protein" itself wasn't a category on the popular diet visual until 2011, at which time it was still suggested in smaller portions. The latest guidelines not only focus on protein as a category, but the suggested intake has increased to 1.2-1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, up from the previous long-standing minimum of 0.8g/kg."

Not joswift approved. Double the protein! :o

My docs have all been protein-phobic. Especially if they hear about "protein shakes." Yet at hospital I got meal replacement protein shakes.

Good food is expensive and hard to come by.
I have to run in circles to get raw milk since Mrs. Hartlova has retired.

It's not.

You don't have to shop at Whole Foods.

All it really amounts to is dropping refined carbs and processed foods.

Where is sausage and gravy on the chart? Ready made hello fresh meals? Emily's home cooking?

Rfk Jr clearly doesn't want people to get big.
