'A Reverse Funnel System': RFK Jr. And Friends Roasted Over New, Flipped Food Pyramid

The conspiracy-pushing health secretary joined other officials to reveal the Trump administration's "upside-down" dietary guidance.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday unveiled new dietary guidelines including an inverted food pyramid with a focus on fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy and healthy fats and less of an emphasis on whole grains.

The conspiracy-pushing health secretary, while flanked by other Trump administration officials at the White House, remarked on the “upside down” look of the new food pyramid as it appeared on a screen behind him.

The new food pyramid is the first from the U.S. Department of Agriculture since the original model was updated to “MyPyramid” in 2005 and later replaced by “MyPlate,” which featured roughly half a plate of fruits and vegetables, another half a plate of grains and protein, and a serving of dairy.

Christopher Gardner, a nutrition expert at Stanford University, told NPR that he was “very disappointed” that the new model features red meat and saturated fat sources “at the very top, as if that’s something to prioritize.”

“It does go against decades and decades of evidence and research,” he said.
