Earlier this year, the United States federal government released the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030. While a few of the guidelines on the so-called food pyramid have been based on earlier recommendations or remain unchanged, experts say this is the most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in decades.
Adopting the slogan “Make America Healthy Again,” the central message conveyed appears straightforward. More whole foods and protein are good for your diet; leave behind highly processed foods and added sugars. But doctors, dietitians and nutritionists are divided on what works and what doesn’t.
