The Trump administration is acutely aware of this danger, and today this announcement is making a major step in doing something about it.

Thankfully, the solution is simple and should be non-controversial.

Eat real food.

This is the main message of the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025 to 2030, which encourage households and schools to prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods.

That means more protein, more dairy, more healthy fats, more whole grains, more fruits and vegetables, whether they are fresh, frozen, canned, or dried.

We are finally putting real food back at the center of the American diet.

Real food that nourishes the body, restores health, fuels energy, and builds strength.

This pivot also leans into the abundant, affordable, and healthy food supply already available from America's incredible farmers and ranchers.

By making milk, raising cattle, and growing wholesome fruits, vegetables, and grains, they hold the key to solving our national health crisis.

And President Trump is mobilizing government to ensure families across America have greater access to these healthy foods.

In the past 12 months, inflation has slowed and wages have risen for the first time in five years.

Under President Trump's leadership, prices for everyday staples are declining and more help is on the way.

Recent data show that fruits, vegetables, dairy, and proteins, including eggs, pork, and ground beef, are becoming even more affordable every day for our American people.

American households enjoy the most affordable and abundant food in the world, and today's release only reinforces that reality.

A healthy meal is within reach for all American families.

These new dietary guidelines are a framework which is meant to be customized to meet the needs, the preferences, and the financial status of all American families.

For example, a meal including such items as pork or eggs or whole milk or cheese, tomatoes, other fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, whole grain bread, corn tortilla can cost today right around $3 for that meal.

$3.

And soon, USDA will finalize our stocking standards, which means that those businesses in America that take the SNAP benefit, what they are required to stock in order to take that benefit, by the way, that's almost 250,000 retailers across America, that very soon we will be finalizing that rule that will mandate all 250,000 retailers in America

double the type of staple foods that they provide for America's SNAP households.
