And because of the old food pyramid, people didn't like the food on it and they were going to ultra-processed food.
Which was okay on the food pyramid.
So now 70% of the food that our kids eat is ultra-processed food.
70% of the calories they get.
And it's just poisoning them.
And they took off the good stuff like whole milk, which is nutrient-dense, which is feeding their brain.
We have two generations of kids that grew up without milk, without the proper nutrients for their brain.
We have the first country in the face of the earthβ
It has chronic obesity and in the same people malnutrition.
So you have immensely obese people and they're malnourished.
They're medically malnourished.
It's because the food pyramid was so messed up.
So what's going to happen now, Joe, is that we are going to be able to drive that.
We're going to be able to change dietary culture.
Just the food pyramid is going to change dietary culture.
And here's how.
Brooke Rollins, who's an incredible USDA secretary, she administers $405 million a day.
She gives out food subsidies for school lunches, the WICS program, the SNAP program, Indian Health Services and all of these other programs.
So those programs now are going to get good food because the dietary guidelines dictate what they can and cannot feed kids.
Military and the VA also are changing.
