There is a new food pyramid in town! The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services along with the Department of Agriculture rolled out this new food pyramid along with the website: https://realfood.gov The old food pyramid has remained in use for decades even though it is a high-glycemic mess. It recommended that Americans eat mostly cereals, breads, rice and grains and very little meat and dairy and fat. If you want to read about some of the politics that brought on this abomination, read The Great Plant-Based Con. The new pyramid flips that model on its head. It recognizes that meat and vegetables should form the foundation of a healthy diet, with grains occupying the smallest portion. This approach aligns far more closely with evidence-based nutrition research. “Protein and healthy fats are essential and were wrongly discouraged in prior dietary guidelines,” HHS Secretary Kennedy said. “We are ending the war on saturated fats.” Will this matter for most Americans? Probably not. Most adults don’t consult the pyramid before deciding what to eat. But the pyramid is used to teach nutrition in schools and to determine what is served in schools and on military bases. Maybe American school lunches will get better now?
