The Trump administration released new dietary guidelines today that will shape everything

from school lunches to medical advice.

The new guidance puts a bigger emphasis on eating more protein and dairy, something health

secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has long sought.

But the administration also held on to some traditional and mainstream guidelines.

William Brighham has more.

Jeff, during a press conference at the White House, Secretary Kennedy literally turned that traditional food pyramid upside down to mirror what he and other Trump officials said Americans

should eat. That's significantly more protein in dairy, numerous servings of fruits and vegetables and

other healthy fats, all of that at the top, and fewer whole grains down at the bottom. Some of the

other specific recommendations, less added sugar, that children should not eat added sugars

until they are 10 years old. Three servings of dairy a day, including whole milk rather than low fat.

Fewer processed foods, period.

And controversially, it removed recommendations to limit alcohol consumption.

These guidelines are updated every five years.
