The Corporate Capture of MAHA: How the Chemical Lobby Is Stealing Our Health Again

MAHA has been played.

For months leading up to the 2024 election, the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement captivated a nation overwhelmed by chronic diseases. I found hope in a powerful promise regarding our food supply: we would finally stop poisoning our own people.

We were told that the new administration would take a sledgehammer to the corrupt alliance between federal regulators and the chemical industry. We were promised a war on the health epidemic that is sickening our children.

But as the dust settles in Washington, the slogan has revealed itself to be exactly what The New Lede questioned in December: a “Trojan horse.” The very voters who turned out to demand safer food and water have been handed a policy agenda that protects the poisoners.
