What the MAHA movement puts at stake
Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) is a turning point for America's food system. The movement now has a federal policy blueprint in the MAHA report. It targets ultra-processed foods, food chemicals and additives, and the structure of agricultural subsidies. Together, these could change how food is produced, marketed and sold across the United States.
The effects will reach food and beverage companies, agribusiness, chemical makers and retailers, and parts of the technology and pharmaceutical sectors. The fight will run through Congress, the regulators and public hearings. Much of it will happen out of sight, where industry lobbyists and public health advocates compete for influence.
