HHS Senior Advisor Calley Means on Massive MAHA Wins for the Administration: 'We are fixing food'
"These aren't always things that are on the front page of Politico, but these are things that matter to moms in the country. I mean, when you, when you look at what is a concern of a parent right now, there's huge anxiety about childhood chronic disease."
"So this is there's a magical thing happening where Americans are waking up. We've channeled that awakening through the political system, thanks to President Trump and RFK and the White House, the day Bobby Kennedy came into office, put together this MAHA commission. So every single day, we're working throughout government of how to spur this change more, not through command and control, not through any state, but it's through hundreds and hundreds of conversations we're having with Costco, with Target, with Walmart, with major food companies.."
"Because of this MAHA momentum, we've been able to convene at the White House with these companies and a lot of this action has been voluntary. I mean, it's a big deal when Target says we are not going to procure items with these chemicals, we're going to take that leadership stance that changes the entire market. They're absolutely reacting to the MAHA momentum."
"There is a cultural change happening in this country, and it is one of the biggest stories in the country that's happening, because the one of the biggest dynamics we face is that we are the sickest country in the world, and spend more on health care than any other country, and this cultural awakening that's happening is going to change that."
