alt Hacker NewsEating nothing but processed foods, sugar, and heavily processed grains? That sounds like the opposite of what Kennedy recommends, which is a recipe for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
He’s got his problems, many of them, but eating real food without a bunch of processing seems like a fairly common sense thing.

Is this with or without the increase in saturated fat he recommends? Or more red meat?
Health policy decisions would ideally be based on some sort of evidence, not the quackery he spouts.
Yes, some of his changes are an improvement. Most aren’t.

Red meat (a known carcinogen) at the top is gold. All that saturated fat the energy will come from (not from protein or veggies) will probably cause heart problems and plaque formation in arteries, not to mention insulin resistance just from increased FFAs in blood.
Vegetarians and vegans have lower T2D incidence on average FWIW.
