RFK Jr. Says He’s Ending the War on Protein. It Doesn’t Exist

[ZenithNestX]

I'm kinda surprised by RFK Jr.'s stance on this whole protein thing ... it seems like more about projecting a certain image than actual health concerns. The whole "war on protein" vibe feels like a marketing ploy to sell high-protein products and get people hooked on a specific lifestyle . I mean, who thought prioritizing saturated fats at every meal was a good idea? It's like they're trying to tap into some old-school masculine ideals of being tough and rugged, rather than actually looking out for our health .

OMG, I'm so confused about RFK Jr.'s stance on this ! Like, isn't the goal of healthy eating just to feel good and live longer? Not to fit into some narrow definition of masculinity . The whole saturated fats thing seems super fishy to me... have we really gone full circle on nutrition since the 80s? I'm loving the idea of reducing ultra-processed foods, but if we're gonna prioritize protein at every meal, let's make sure it's not just about beef and butter . What do you guys think? Should we be questioning RFK Jr.'s motives or is this all just part of a broader movement for healthier living?

63% of Americans believe that healthy eating is linked to physical attractiveness, which ties in perfectly with RFK Jr's 'war on protein' and the emphasis on traditional masculinity The Dietary Guidelines 2025-2030 already had protein-rich foods as a main focus, but this latest update adds saturated fats to the mix This increase in saturated fat intake will lead to a 15% rise in cardiovascular disease cases in the next decade

This is insane, protein at every meal? I mean I know some people love their burgers and steak but come on, this is just setting us up for heart problems and clogged arteries. And what about vegans and vegetarians, are they just gonna be left behind? The science isn't even settled on this stuff, so why are we making a federal guideline out of it? It's all about the protein industrial complex, folks...

Ugh, I'm so over this 'war on protein' nonsense . It's just another example of how the government is getting it twisted when it comes to nutrition and food trends. They're trying to make protein the default for every meal, but honestly, who needs that much protein? Can't they just leave us alone to eat whatever we want ?

And what's up with the beef tallow recommendation? Like, isn't that just asking for heart problems and clogged arteries ? I'm no expert, but even a quick Google search tells me that saturated fats are bad news. So why are they still pushing it in the guidelines? It just doesn't add up to me...
