What Happened: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins released the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025–2030, calling for a return to whole, real foods.
Why It Matters: The guidelines target diet driven chronic disease that is overwhelming the healthcare system and weakening national readiness.
Bottom Line: The Trump administration is restoring common sense nutrition by prioritizing real food over processed junk and pharmaceuticals.
The Trump administration just delivered a long overdue wake up call to the American people. Eat real food.
On Tuesday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, unveiled the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025–2030. Officials called it the most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in decades, and for once, Washington is saying something Americans instinctively understand.
The United States is facing a health crisis. Nearly 90 percent of healthcare spending now goes toward treating chronic disease. More than 70 percent of adults are overweight or obese. Nearly one in three adolescents has prediabetes. Worse, diet driven illness is disqualifying young Americans from military service, weakening national readiness and stealing futures.
“These Guidelines return us to the basics,” Kennedy said. “American households must prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods and dramatically reduce highly processed foods. This is how we Make America Healthy Again.”
Rollins credited Donald Trump for restoring sanity to federal food policy. She said the new guidelines put families, children, farmers, and ranchers first, realigning the food system around protein, dairy, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and whole grains instead of chemicals and additives.
Under Trump’s leadership, the administration is restoring scientific integrity and common sense. The guidelines reject the failed food experiments of the past and reestablish food, not pharmaceuticals, as the foundation of health. The food pyramid is back, and it finally makes sense again.
The guidance is simple. Prioritize protein at every meal. Eat full fat dairy with no added sugar. Choose whole fruits and vegetables. Use healthy fats from real foods. Cut refined carbs and ultra processed junk. Drink water. Limit alcohol. Eat what your body actually needs.
The guidelines also include tailored recommendations for children, pregnant women, seniors, and those with chronic conditions, ensuring nutrition supports every stage of life.
This is not radical. It is biblical in its simplicity. God designed food to nourish the body, not laboratories. After decades of bad advice and corporate influence, America is finally being told the truth again. And it starts at the dinner table.
