The article seems to be shittily written in my opinion but I figure if you watch the video (about a minute) it will get the point across.

My question lies in, do you think this will benefit the health of the people moving forward, or do you fear it being weaponized to endorse or threaten companies to comply with the mention of Kennedy being tied to its future as mentioned in the end of the article

And it will get reversed in a month...already heard Trumpicans calling it "woke".

Sorry, trail mix isn't healthy.

And saturated fats can be. The whole thing against sat fats is wrong, and was proven so by 1994.

The FDA is full of shit on this.

From what I could find, the whole "saturated fats are healthy actually" and the whole "seed oils are bad" and "polyunsaturated fats are not good actually" are things originating from meat and animal products lobbying, and recently popularized by the Joe Rogan podcast when he had a self-identified carnivore on? Or something?

Basically, it seems to be yet another manufactured culture war shit by the right filled with misinformation and disinformation that goes against the science. At this point I feel like anything that gets championed by the right needs to be very heavily examined for truthfulness.

Also, expect a lot lot more of this after the Trump administration takes over. Be skeptical of people skeptical of seed oils and polyunsaturated fats. Be skeptical of people glorifying meat and butter and saturated fats.

There was a metaanalysis paper that suggested that saturated fats alone were not highly correlated with heart disease.

Same paper recommend a high fiber diet over a high carb or high protein diet. Which tracks tbh
