Make America Healthy Actually

You came here for nutrition tips and maybe some good-natured dunking on diet fads, not a deep dive into politics. But here’s the thing: food and health are political. And with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushing his “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda, it’s impossible to ignore how his take on fitness, food, and public health is pulling people into his camp.

On the surface, MAHA taps into legitimate concerns: ultra-processed foods, chronic disease, and corporate influence on health policy. But beneath the slogans, the movement leans heavily on personal responsibility while offering little in the way of real solutions.

In this episode of Your Diet Sucks, Zoë and Kylee examine why health messaging is so easy to politicize, how diet culture and politics overlap, and what it really takes to make America healthy, actually.
