RFK Jrs hilarious duck ring tone brings White | Political News

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s cellphone’s quacking duck tone received everybody chuckling as the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, as he took a reporter’s questions during a press convention on Tuesday.

An up to date model of the food pyramid was launched during the press convention, but it was inverted and barely jumbled. Protein, dairy, and healthy fats, along with greens and fruits, dominate; complete grains are de-emphasized.

The new steering emphasizes protein at every meal and encourages people to eat as a lot as twice the really helpful daily allowance of 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of physique weight, relatively than the earlier advice of 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of physique weight.

The pointers also endorse full-fat dairy, marking a shift from earlier variations that promoted low-fat or fat-free merchandise to scale back saturated fats consumption. Kennedy has described those earlier suggestions as “antiquated.”

Advice on saturated fats itself has not modified: the up to date pointers continue to advocate limiting saturated fats to less than 10% of complete daily calories.

Kennedy Jr. said, the press release read. “After an exhaustive review of the evidence, we are aligning the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule with international consensus while strengthening transparency and informed consent.
