Summary

The Trump Administration’s rolled out a new, inverted food pyramid that places a stronger emphasis on dairy, red meats and foods higher in fat, while whole grains are at the narrow bottom. This follows HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s mission to "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA), aimed at addressing chronic disease, childhood illnesses and ultra processed foods. The FDA is using the catch-phrase "eat real food" for the campaign they say will ultimately save families money. FOX’s Jared Halpern speaks with Kyle Diamantas, the Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods and head of the agency's Human Foods Program, overseeing all FDA nutrition and food safety, who says embracing the new nutritional guidelines will save your family money, and improve your health.
