flag RFK Jr.'s new dietary guidelines, favoring red meat and dairy, face backlash for harming health and the environment.

flag Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s newly released Dietary Guidelines for Americans have drawn criticism from health and environmental experts, who say the recommendations could harm public health and the planet. flag The guidelines promote higher consumption of red meat and dairy, placing them above plant-based proteins in a revised food pyramid, despite scientific consensus linking high saturated fat intake to heart disease. flag While the text advises reducing processed foods and added sugars, the visual representation contradicts this by elevating high-fat animal products. flag The guidelines are also drastically condensed—just 10 pages—raising concerns about clarity and consistency. flag Experts warn increased meat consumption would worsen climate change through higher greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water use. flag With Americans already consuming more protein than recommended, critics say the shift risks exacerbating chronic disease and environmental degradation.
