You can only change based on what has happened.

So if you started in 1980 with a false idea about saturated fat, 45 years later, you still have that same false idea.

And I think that's one of the big changes is that when Secretary Kennedy and Secretary Rawlins came in now, they said, no, we don't care what has happened.

We only care about what's real.

So let's reevaluate all the science.

So the recommendations, I think, are very logical.

They're very flexible.

They start out with everybody needs to target their calorie intake.

We have a huge obesity problem.

So that's simple.

So we need to get that under control.

And that's partially food you choose, but partially portion control.

The second thing, which is really a big priority, is prioritizing protein foods.

Protein foods are the primary source of nutrients in our diet, whether it's amino acids or whether it's vitamins and minerals.

Protein foods are where we get our

65, 70% of our nutrients.

So you have to make a priority to that.

From there, they went in and say typical things like fruits and vegetables, which is what you'd expect.

Healthy fats, which is a big change, prioritizing natural fats, things that you would get from foods from animal sources, milk, eggs.

meats, things of that nature, along with olive oil and other natural and less use of highly processed seed oils.
