Since he took up his post in President Trump's cabinet as Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been waging a war on the status quo of American diets, arguing they lack sufficient protein and lean too heavily on processed foods. His latest endeavor in his "war on saturated fats" (his words, really) is perhaps his magnum opus: an upside-down food pyramid formally recommending his vision for healthy eating to the American populace.

The Department of Health, headed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has introduced new dietary guidelines that prioritize the consumption of protein, fruits, and vegetables Food pyramid products.MEDITERRANEAN (Getty Images) The Department of Health and Human Services has unveiled a new food pyramid that aligns with the ideals of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, a variant of President Trump's agenda, which has gained new political weight under the leadership of Secretary Robert F.

Kennedy, Jr., and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins held a press conference to release the updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030.

Holiday foods often carry family traditions and memories, and enjoying them is one way we honor those connections.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spent the past six months working fast to embed his Make America Healthy Again creed into American life. Over the summer alone, he has struck deals with some food companies to phase out some petroleum-based food dyes, waged a war against pediatricians over COVID-19 vaccines for young children, seemingly toyed with the idea of shipping fresh food to Americans in " MAHA boxes," and pledged to reboot the nation's dietary guidelines from scratch. I spoke with the Atlantic staff writer Nicholas Florko, who reports on health policy, about how the MAHA-fication of the country is coming along.
