Summary
The latest U.S. federal dietary guidelines advise Americans to prioritize protein at every meal and double their daily intake, emphasizing red meat, whole milk, and other animal protein sources while downplaying plant-based options. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared "the war on protein" is over. However, nutrition experts push back, noting Americans already consume more protein than needed and there is no new evidence supporting such a drastic increase.
