About this listen

Welcome back to The Unprocessed Truth. I’m Sunna van Kampen, and today we’re crossing the Atlantic to witness a nutrition earthquake.


America has just flipped the food pyramid on its head. In a radical 2026 reset, the US government has "declared war" on added sugar and ultra-processed foods, while placing red meat, full-fat dairy, and healthy fats at the very top of the priority list. For 40 years, we were told to build our health on a base of grains - now, those same grains have been downgraded to the smallest tip of the triangle.


Is this the "Real Food" awakening we’ve been waiting for, or a scientific contradiction that goes against decades of heart-health advice? I’m peeling back the marketing veil on the 2025–2030 guidelines to see what we can learn from this massive experiment in "unprocessed" living.


What we cover:

  • The Inverted Triangle: Why protein is the new foundation and why grains are officially on the "naughty list."
  • The 10g Rule: Inside the new mandate that says "no amount" of added sugar is healthy.
  • Seed Oils vs. Tallow: Why butter and beef tallow are making a government-sanctioned comeback.
  • The Global Impact: Will the UK follow suit, or are we witnessing a nutrition divide?
