Abby McCloskey, Dallas Morning News, March 16, 2026

“Supporters point to MAHA wins over a short year’s time. Many companies have promised to curb artificial food dyes. The food pyramid has been remade. Schools are serving 2% milk again. Coca Cola is offering real sugar Coke! In Kennedy’s rallies, he calls for more family cooking and family dinners, which are cheaper, healthier and more social. Put the phones out of sight at the dinner table. Good advice.

But rattle off the list out loud and it feels a bit like it’s nipping at the edges, not getting to the heart of it. The reason why the MAHA movement had so much steam to begin with was because it touched on the real emergency in children’s health.”
