The Biden Administration gave us 453-page Dietary Guidelines that were driven by the same industrial forces that put sugary cereal at the top of the Food Pyramid. We are working on new Dietary Guidelines that will be simple, easy to understand, and science-based. It will be a game-changer for...

Secretary Kennedy is right to call out the 453-page dietary circus—classic D.C. bloat where lobbyists draft policy while taxpayers foot the bill. The Biden-era guidelines were a masterclass in regulatory capture: Big Food wrote the script, pushing processed carbs and seed oils while fresh produce got buried in Appendix C-12. The Trump-Vance administration’s four-page reboot? A surgical strike on bureaucracy. Real science says metabolic health thrives on whole foods, not FDA-approved cereal mascots. Let’s see if the swamp lets this reform stick or if the food-industrial complex sues to keep their sugar subsidies.

Do you honestly believe people think Doritos and soda are healthier than carrot sticks and a glass of water? C'mon. People generally know what food is healthy or not healthy for them (whether they choose it or not). Stop this bullshit and address the real issue. Vaccines.

We don't need a guideline from the government on what to eat. We have doctors. LESS GOVERNMENT BS.

This is good news. Hope it focuses on unprocessed, natural foods and has space for raw milk and home-grown foods, too.

“Top of the food pyramid” was for items to be “USED SPARINGLY”, not to be given priority to.

What good are the guidelines when there's still poison in our foods? Same poisons banned by LAW, for example, in Germany. Fruits & vegetables have poisons sprayed on them, absorbed as well. Every other food, even vitamins, have fillers & preservatives that are nothing but poison.

Invert the food pyramid and you have a healthy guideline. Do pretty much the exact opposite of what you've been told about for your whole life. Eggs are healthy. Salt is healthy. Red meat is healthy. Carbohydrates, processed white flour and white sugar are the enemy.

The Politics of Food Guidelines and the Real Food Revolution | Marion Nestle, PhD In this episode, legendary food policy expert Dr. Marion Nestle (Marion Nestle) joins the show to discuss her new book "What to Eat Now" and share her unfiltered take on the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. At 89 years old, Dr. Nestle brings over five decades of experience to the conversation, including her role as editor of the 1988 Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health and as a member of the 1995 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. We explore how supermarkets are designed to maximize spending rather than health, why the food industry's profit motive conflicts with consumer wellbeing, and why the simplest nutrition advice—eat real food, not too much, mostly plants—remains so difficult to follow. We also dig into the controversy surrounding the new dietary guidelines, examining both what Dr. Nestle praises (the emphasis on real food and limiting ultra-processed products) and what concerns her (the meat-forward messaging and questions about equity). As a member of the Scientific Review Group that developed the scientific foundations for these guidelines, I offer an insider perspective on what the evidence actually says versus how it's been communicated. The conversation turns to implementation challenges—from school meals to SNAP policy—and asks the critical question: how do we translate good dietary guidance into meaningful change when funding for community programs is being cut? If you're interested in understanding the forces shaping American food policy and what it means for public health, this episode offers a candid, nuanced discussion from two experts coming from different perspectives on the debate.
