The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a new slate of dietary guidelines that recommends Americans eat more protein and less sugar than previously advised and that consumers avoid highly processed foods to achieve a healthy diet.

Sweeping changes prioritize protein and fats over processed carbs, challenging decades of dietary dogma and setting the stage for a major public health debate.

The Trump administration released new dietary guidelines on Wednesday, pushing Americans to prioritize protein and cut back on added sugars and processed foods.

The federal government has released new dietary guidelines, introducing an emphasis on consuming meat and dairy and avoiding highly processed foods.

Gone is the grain-heavy emphasis that defined earlier guidance, and in its place is guidance to prioritize “whole, nutrient dense foods.”

A new food pyramid diagram has been introduced by the U.S. government along with additional dietary guidelines. Here are the key changes and what experts think.

The food guide pyramid can sometimes get a little confusing for adults to follow, so imagine what it's like for kids to understand. Well that's not going to be a problem anymore. The USDA has released the first ever food pyramid specifically designed for kids.
