Congressman Ronny Jackson of Texas has introduced the Dietary Guidelines Reform Act of 2025. The legislation aims to revise the current dietary guidelines set by the Biden administration, which Jackson claims have been influenced by radical environmental policies. He suggests these guidelines promote plant-based proteins over conventional sources like beef and poultry.

Jackson asserts that his bill will prioritize evidence-based nutritional information rather than political ideologies. "The Biden administration has weaponized the dietary guidelines to push a partisan agenda instead of sound nutritional science," said Rep. Ronny Jackson. "My bill will ensure these dietary guidelines are based on transparent, evidence-based research—not political ideologies—so Americans can trust they are getting real, science-backed recommendations that support their health and well-being."

Senator Roger Marshall from Kansas is backing similar legislation in the Senate. He commented on the need for reform: “Despite decades of Dietary Guidelines for Americans, our citizens have only become sicker and more obese, while taxpayer dollars continue to fund this chaotic and broken process,” said Senator Marshall. “The Dietary Guidelines Reform Act brings much-needed transparency and scientific integrity to the dietary guidelines process, restores public trust, and aims for healthier outcomes by ensuring the recommendations truly serve the American people.”

The full text of the bill is available for review.
