These guidelines shape the foods served in schools, hospitals, prisons, military bases and through federal assistance programs, and rarely change in substance when they are updated every five years.<\/h4>\n<p class=\"css-8hvvyd\">\u201cToday marks a decisive change in federal nutrition policy, made possible by President Trump\u2019s leadership, and the work of MAHA moms and public health advocates who demanded reform. New guidelines recognize that whole-nutrient dense food is the most effective path to better health and lower health care costs. Protein and healthy fats are essential, and were wrongly discouraged in prior dietary guidelines.\u201d \u201cAlcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best-case scenario, I don\u2019t think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize. And there\u2019s probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way. So there is alcohol on these dietary guidelines, but the implication is don\u2019t have it for breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-hple31\">The Trump administration released new dietary guidelines on Wednesday that flipped the food pyramid on its head, putting steak, cheese and whole milk near the top.
