RFK Jr. says new dietary guidelines coming soon: 'We're ending the war on saturated fats'

Source: The Hill

11/17/25 1:17 PM ET


Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday that new dietary guidelines are expected to be released next month that will end the “war on saturated fats.”

Speaking at the Food Allergy Fund Leadership Forum, Kennedy discussed the actions the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken under his leadership, including incentivizing a reduction in petroleum-based food dyes and increasing oversight into infant formula.

“We’re ending the war on saturated fats in this country. So, we’re going to publish dietary guidelines that are going to stress the importance of protein and saturated fats. And those will come out, I think, next month. And I think that will really revolutionize the food system in the country, the food culture in this country,” Kennedy said.

The Hill’s sister company NewsNation reported last month that Kennedy planned to introduce new dietary guidelines recommending more consumption of butter, cheese, milk and red meat. This goes against current thinking that high consumption of saturated fats raises levels of bad cholesterol and increases the risk of heart disease. Kennedy ascribes to the so-called carnivore diet, which calls for eating only meat, poultry, eggs, seafood, fish, dairy products and water.

in this country.

But meanwhile, serving sticks of butter and bowls of goose fat in the White House seems like a great idea...

It's a real thing.

Also know as:

In 2011 at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, California, deep-fried butter was paired with chocolate-covered bacon and dubbed the "coronary combo."

Very soon, the food we'll be permitted to afford will be very much red meat & cheese. People incur unacceptable levels of government expenses if we stick around too long after leaving the workforce. Get us accustomed to the least-healthy diet possible and subsidize us killing ourselves before we hit 72. Bonus points for discontinuing vaccinations and treating major outbreaks with placebos. Wow, this timeline really sucks.
