at least one chronic health condition, and nearly 90% of healthcare spending goes toward treating people with chronic disease.

Secretary Kennedy mentioned that, but it is really important to keep underscoring that fact.

This crisis is unacceptable.

It prevents Americans from living healthy and happy lives.

And for decades, decades, under both Republicans and Democrats, federal incentives have promoted

low-quality, highly processed foods and pharmaceutical interventions instead of prevention.

As a result, nutrient-dense whole foods grown by America's farmers and ranchers have been increasingly displaced.

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.
