RFK Jr. unveils new ‘upside down’ food pyramid
The White House on Wednesday unveiled new dietary guidelines, with officials calling it the “most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in history.”
The new guidelines were represented with an upside-down pyramid placing vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy and healthy fats at the top and whole grains at the bottom.
“The new guidelines recognize that whole, nutrient-dense food is the most effective path to better health and lower health care costs,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“The new framework centers on protein and healthy fats, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. It’s upside down, a lot of people say. It was actually upside down before,” he added.
The initial food pyramid was introduced in the 1990s, showing a small amount of sugars at the top, recommending 2-4 servings of dairy, meat, fruit and vegetables in the middle, and 8-11 servings of bread, rice, pasta and other grains at the bottom. It was updated to “My Plate” under the Obama administration.
The new guidelines are laid out on a new website realfood.gov.
