The United States has redefined what qualifies as "healthy" food for the first time in 30 years, striking items like white bread from the list while welcoming nutrient-rich options such as eggs and salmon, officials said Thursday.

The article seems to be shittily written in my opinion but I figure if you watch the video (about a minute) it will get the point across.

My question lies in, do you think this will benefit the health of the people moving forward, or do you fear it being weaponized to endorse or threaten companies to comply with the mention of Kennedy being tied to its future as mentioned in the end of the article

        First, they came for frogs and made them gay, and I didn’t speak up for I’m not a frog.

        Then they came for my fats and made them trans.

      Sorry, trail mix isn’t healthy.

      And saturated fats can be. The whole thing against sat fats is wrong, and was proven so by 1994.

      The FDA is full of shit on this.

        Saturated fats are not good actually. That’s a lie funded by dairy industry.

        And trail mix (with nuts and whole grains and fruit) is in fact healthy.

        The overwhelming majority of Americans eat nowhere close to the bare minimum recommended amount of fiber. Guess which one has lots of fiber? And is also full of minerals not found in many other foods

        They’ve always been behind the times. If you’re old enough you’ll remember the cholesterol scare. They apparently hadn’t learned the different types of cholesterol yet. This is from my youth.
