The Make America Healthy Again movement strives to do just that. But health is ambiguous, vague, and often confusing. Firstly, this semi-political movement only exists because a presidential candidate selected an opponent to join his team for the votes. Hats, shirts, etc., with MAHA printed on them are a quick way to earn a campaign dollar with no real meaning being put behind them. Second of all, the complexity of the food-pharmaceutical-medical-chemical complex is far to interwoven into every day life, into the minds and bodies of citizens, to simply fix by mandate, regulation, or law; the most altruistic movement to solve these often unspecified problems will not take days, weeks, months, or even years, but decades. Third, not only will these necessary changes require expert knowledge, legal maneuvering, and redefining the American food supply, but it will require that Americans of all affiliations are on board. In other words, if the country says it prefers fluoride, food coloring, chemical additives, etc., for whatever reason, then we shift from a relatively uninformed population who are being manipulated by these things, to a population who demands these things consciously due to some misplaced political or similar bias. Fourthly, the pushback from industry itself to save a few dollars will be immense, and the psychological ramifications of that are going to alone be devastating on a public brainwashed their entire lives by mommy and daddy corporations. Even if a magic wand could be waived and the problems fixed, there must be at minimum a form of transition and leniency, which in the past has typically been a grace period of up to a decade. By that point, nobody even remembers. Fifth, it’s probably a good idea to halt premature celebrations because MAHA is acting like they are going to revolutionize the world when in fact the United States is arguably dead last, especially among industrial nations, when it comes to health and the quality of food to begin with; we are celebrating coming in last place as if we won the race. Sixth, the consumption of highly processed sugar, fat, flour, chemicals, etc., since it is so engrained, will require more than a legal or political shift, it will require a personal shift in how one chooses to live and consume, and a cultural shift. The very essence of America is driving your car to get fast food or having it delivered all times of the day and night. That cultural shift includes recognizing the outrageous portion sizes that Americans consume, which is not something that is going to be accomplished by political or legal moves. It’s important to recognize the man fueling this movement is almost entirely alone, even within the newly realigned political lines of the country. And that’s the point, even with political support, if there is no genuine spirit behind the movement, it is bound to fail like a diet. We cannot sit back and just hope that RFK Jr. makes our food healthy, when the fact the government itself created the problem by collusion with big corporations, and therefore likely can only make the problem worse, especially when we’re dealing with political compromise on highly controversial things, lobbyists, and big money. Furthermore, the power has always resides with the people, and if the public doesn’t demand this with their dollar, the movement is already dead. The fact is that right now you can vote for food coloring or natural foods; you can go to any store and purchase vegetables and fruits, grains and legumes, spices, herbs, mushrooms, etc., without any government involvement. Perhaps government could change the rules on what is purchased through government assistance like WIC, or FS, or start an unbiased educational program about shopping, ingredient lists, cooking, and so on, but unless there is a cultural shift in America our health problems are going to continue to get worse. Otherwise, we just want MAHA to act as magic, no different than a diet pill purchased at a gas station, a dime a dozen workout videos, or the next trendy diet on social media that emerges.
