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

Health-conscious Americans, physicians and elected officials have been sounding alarms concerning the food pyramid for decades. It may now be a relic of corporate influence and bad advice.

The guidelines also advise that Americans prioritize more protein intake, avoid highly processed foods, avoid added sugars, include healthy fats in meals, have diets lower in carbohydrates, consume more whole grains and avoid refined carbohydrates.

Sweeping changes prioritize protein and fats over processed carbs, challenging decades of dietary dogma and setting the stage for a major public health debate.

A major goal of the “whole food framework” will be “reducing health care costs,” as the US has seen surging rates of obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and other chronic diseases.

The great minds behind “Make America Healthy Again” just unveiled the product of a year’s work: an upside-down food pyramid and the slogan “Eat Real Food.” If only President Donald Trump would help people actually afford it.
