I think he’s trying to substitute populism for health science, which is irresponsible and awful and will kill people. That he’s using eugenicist language in the process, and eliminating vaccines because ‘big pharma corruption’ while not meaningfully checking big pharma power or abuses smells like a plan to watch the children of vulnerable populations die. The rest of it- making noise about redesigning the food pyramid- is just smoke. The ‘new’ recommendations are just a rebranding of previous recommendations to pretend like they’re doing something about how our food systems are shitty because mostly FDA spends food money to subsidize the ag industry and processed subsidized product is profitable in ways that healthy food often isn’t


It probably is time for that, sad to say
