White House releases new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 'turning the food pyramid upside down'

The Trump administration is “turning the food pyramid upside down” with new guidelines for feeding programs that will emphasize eating plenty of protein and healthy fats — while discouraging the consumption of highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates, officials told The Post. High-quality proteins like poultry, red meat and beans; fats from eggs or dairy; fruits, vegetable and “fiber-rich” whole grains are in — and starchy carbs such as white bread, crackers, or “sugar-sweetened” beverages as well as pre-packaged and ready-to-eat treats like chips, cookies and fast food are out.
