Kennedy’s Protein-Heavy Food Pyramid: Eat More Meat, But Not Saturated Fat, Or Something
KEY POINTS
- •On January 8, 2026, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued a 10-page dietary guideline update focusing on high protein amid record beef prices.
- •The guidelines cut processed foods but downplayed alcohol limits and face criticism for inconsistent saturated fat advice given meat emphasis.
- •Critics noted industry ties in the scientific review panel, petitioned for rewriting the guidelines, while Kennedy pledged affordable healthy food resources.
On January 8, 2026, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiled a skeletal 10-page dietary guideline rewrite packed with protein fantasies during soaring beef prices — basically telling Americans, 'Eat more red meat, eggs, and beans, but don’t grease your arteries with saturated fat (limit it to 10% of your calories, thanks).' The guidelines politely nixed processed foods but dodged calling out alcohol as a cancer villain—Trump-era censorship lives! Amid accusations of secret meat-and-dairy-funded science (those neat disclosure pages!), Kennedy promised a website for budget-conscious healthy eaters while artillery fire from the International Food and Beverage Alliance and feeding program advocates blasted vague 'highly processed' buzzwords. Essentially, President Meat-and-Dairy's nutrition manual tries balancing steak on a seesaw of contradictions, proving we’re all terrible drivers of our own cholesterol highways.

Federal nutrition guidelines want you to eat more meat without more saturated fat, a wizardry defying basic chemistry, courtesy of the beef lobby's finest. Budget tips coming soon, right after your wallet recovers from last year's record-breaking steak prices.
RFK Jr’s new diet is basically ordering steak while the waiter whispers 'but hold the fat'—science goes limp faster than plant protein in a barbecue sauce spill.
Nothing says 'Make America Healthy Again' like being told to eat expensive beef while politicians claim 'gold-standard science' but conveniently ignore cancer-causing alcohol limits.
