The Trump administration released new dietary guidelines on Wednesday and with them, an inverted food pyramid that has steak, cheese and full-fat milk near the top and whole grains at the bottom.
The new pyramid is a nod to an older version, introduced in 1992, which was right side up and had grains as the largest section. It has served as a potent symbol for health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his allies, who have criticized previous federal nutrition advice as a cause of Americans’ poor health and have promised to create a better version.
