Can we just say? It's about time.

For years, anyone paying even a little attention to nutrition has known the U.S. food pyramid was backward. Americans were told to prioritize grains and carbohydrates, minimize fats, and treat protein like a side chick. And then we all acted shocked when obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease skyrocketed.

The updated Dietary Guidelines released by the Trump administration represent the most meaningful reset of federal nutrition policy in decades. By prioritizing real food over ultra-processed junk, added sugars, and refined carbohydrates, these guidelines bring common sense and actual science back into the conversation. Real food is once again positioned as the foundation for preventing chronic disease and supporting long-term health.

And honestly? That matters.

Like many of you, I grew up eating sugar for breakfast. That's not a knock on my parents; they were doing what they were taught was right. Cereal was "healthy." Juice was "fruit." Corn and carrots were counted as vegetables, even though both behave more like carbohydrates once you look at their glycemic........
