Chairman Thompson Applauds New Dietary Guidelines for Americans

House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (PA-15) issued the following statement today on the release of the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans:

"The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans are a step in the right direction, and I applaud Secretary Rollins and Secretary Kennedy for their refocus on real, whole, nutrient-dense foods that fuel our families. I am particularly encouraged to see whole milk and other full-fat dairy products brought back into the recommended diets of Americans, as these wholesome foods play an important role in Making America Healthy Again and have been pushed to the side of nutrition guidelines for too long. These new guidelines will empower Americans to choose the healthy foods that work best for them, whether fresh, frozen, dried, or canned. When our Dietary Guidelines emphasize putting wholesome, healthy foods on dinner tables, we all win-producers and consumers alike."
