   Anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Agriculture Secretary   
   Brook Rollins unveiled the delayed 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for America   
   Wednesday, which is already drawing criticism for its ties to the meat and   
   dairy industry.   
      
   Headlining with the advice to "eat real food," the new guidelines[1], which are   
   updated every five years, are in a brisk, citation-free 10-page document.   
   Overall, the new guidelines: lambaste added sugars and highly processed foods   
   (though it doesn't clearly define them); ditch previous limits on alcohol while   
   directing Americans to just drink "less"; beef up recommendations for protein,   
   including red meat; and appear to embrace saturated fats while not actually   
   changing the 2020–2025 recommendation for how much you should eat—which   
   was and   
   continues to be no more than 10 percent of total daily calories.   
      
   "We are ending the war on saturated fats," Kennedy said triumphantly in a White   
   House press briefing Wednesday, despite the lack of a change. He went on to   
   proclaim that "today, our government declares war on added sugar," though that   
   too is questionable.
