Trump administration issues revamped nutrition advice

The Trump administration has released the 2025-2030 U.S. dietary guidelines, urging Americans to consume more whole foods and protein while reducing highly processed foods and added sugars. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said: "Our message is clear: Eat real food." The guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat to 10% of daily calories and suggest whole-food sources. They also call for increased protein intake, advising 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight. The guidelines will impact federal nutrition programs, including the National School Lunch Program, which serves nearly 30m children daily. The School Nutrition Association has reiterated its call for Congress to increase funding for school meal programs. “School nutrition programs are where the vision of the DGAs becomes reality for the 30m children eating school meals each day,” Stephanie Dillard, the association’s president, said in a statement. “Congress has a tremendous opportunity to improve the health of America by investing resources to help schools expand scratch cooking, serve more fresh, local foods and further positive momentum in cafeterias.”

Mistrial motion denied in Uvalde case

On Wednesday, in the ongoing trial of former Uvalde school district police officer Adrian Gonzales, a Texas judge denied a motion for a mistrial. The request was made by Gonzales' defense team after a witness, Stephanie Hale, a third-grade teacher, provided unexpected testimony about seeing the gunman during the 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School, which resulted in the deaths of nineteen students and two teachers. Judge Sid Harle ruled that the inclusion of Hale's testimony was inadvertent and allowed the trial to proceed. Gonzales, charged with twenty-nine counts of child endangerment, has pleaded not guilty, with his defense arguing that he could not confront the shooter due to the chaotic circumstances. The trial will resume with the jury this morning. The defense plans to present Hale's earlier interview to the jury, where she did not mention seeing the gunman.
