RFK Jr. drops 'South Park' edit after overhauling nutrition guidelines
When the situation resolves itself, the head scientist at USDA says "get the president on the phone. Tell him to have some steak with his butter."
Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. this week published an edited segment of "South Park" to mark his overhaul of federal nutrition standards.
The clip comes from an episode centered on obesity in the United States and features a crisis center attempting to solve the issue in time for dinner. Ultimately, they decide to invert the food pyramid, which solves the nutritional crisis. Kennedy inserted his own voice suggesting the inversion of the pyramid, which closely resembles the reforms HHS announced this week.
"It's upside down," Kennedy tells the scientists at the Department of Agriculture. When the situation resolves itself, the head scientist at USDA says "get the president on the phone. Tell him to have some steak with his butter."
Kennedy and USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins on Wednesday unveiled reformed nutritional guidelines that essentially inverted the classic food pyramid.
