"In November, Kennedy had promised to end “the war on saturated fats” in the U.S, the Hill reported. The stance was at odds with public health experts, who have advised that saturated fats make up a small part of people’s diet.

The guidance says “other options can include butter or beef tallow,” despite previous recommendations to avoid those fats."
