MAHA Report: Anti-scientific ideas and deep contradictions
Established by Executive Order back in January, the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission has been given the ambitious goal of studying the “childhood chronic disease crisis.” But its initial report uplifts anti-scientific ideas, fails to hold the food industry accountable, and is undermined by Trump administration actions.

Tariffs won't make America healthy
Groceries are expensive enough, and Trump's tariff plans will likely raise food prices even more, making it increasingly difficult for Americans to afford healthy food. Tariffs will not make America healthy again.
