"Ending the war on protein", surely that's satire?
Interesting that vegetable recommendations have gone from 3-5 to just 3 and fruit 2-4 to 2.
It's largely repackaged advice that people already know but choose not to follow

It seems like you are complaining for the sake of it. I think RFK is a moron but this stuff is actually good advice regardless of if people listen to it
 
The old food pyramid was fine, just people didn't adhere to it (a statement from a dietition I follow). The one shown previously is fine also.

The main thing is both versions show more traditional foods whereas most people are eating a lot more processed foods. A lot of people's modern diets are filled with a lot of fast food.

Unless you are abstaining from meat for ethical reasons. You should predominantly eating meat and vegetables. Meat for protein which fulls you up, good for you muscles. Vegetables are lower caloric density so you can eat more plus they have a lot of nutrient benefits.

Is this initiative a good thing? Time will tell. But it is something we should be keeping an eye on. Like America we have high rates of obesity. People are posting about our health system or health insurance premiums costing more. Two big things contributing to that a larger population with more eldery and the strain on our health system due to the obesity epidemic.

Does anyone actually change their behavior based on what the food pyramid of the day says?
Seems to be a waste of time to me, no point getting excited about it either way.

Its not designed to motivate the lazy, its for children, immigrants and low socioeconomic groups who might not have had access to information before. If you smash KFC 3x a week as well as 12 beers, a shiny new infographic isn't going to change your behaviour.

I used to eat lots of junk food and was skinny.

I ate healthier and all those vitamins and minerals caused me to put on weight 🤣
