“We are ending the war on protein,” Realfood.gov states, echoing similar declarations by Kennedy. In fact, so does the administration’s own “Scientific Foundation for the Dietary Guidelines for Americans,” which is linked on Realfood.gov. The administration’s messaging also says to “prioritize protein at every meal” with a mix of protein from animal and plant sources. Last week, Kennedy spoke about the “importance of meat protein” at the nation’s largest cattle trade show, declaring that “beef is back on the menu,” according to an HHS statement. When I asked Grok which protein sources are healthiest, it listed plant-based proteins, fish and seafood, lean poultry, and eggs.
