A cornerstone of President Donald Trump’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign is ending chronic disease by promoting a healthy American diet.
Surprising to some, however, is that what has been considered “healthy” for decades is now on the chopping block, and the reasons for rethinking the American diet are now being exposed.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and other like-minded researchers, scientists, and physicians are especially speaking out to explain why “seed oils” – an ingredient in most processed foods – are an obstacle to health.
In a Fox News interview in September (clip provided by the X account of A Midwestern Doctor), Kennedy explained that guidelines concerning what should be in the American diet have largely been dictated by government agencies that are now subservient to the industries they are supposed to regulate.
