I read it and to honest, I'm surprised the giant corporations allowed it to be published. Reducing processed foods and added sugars is a great idea. It actually says to not give kids any sugar at all.
I do personally think that RFKjr. is an absolute loon, and don't get me started on King Dotard, but I like this.

Yep, RFK Jr is a loon but I'm glad you see this for what it is and are giving credit where it's due. One thing about the loon, he's always hated corporate lobbyists which played into this welcome change happening.

Saturated Fat is now at the TOP of the food pyramid. And goodbye Fiber. Its only slightly better than the old pyramid.

And in medicine, he replaced the experts with influencers being paid to get clicks/views by lying.
