In this episode of the Body Trust podcast, hosts Dana, Sirius, and Hilary delve into 'Make America Healthy Again' (MAHA), an offshoot of MAGA chaired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. They explore the origins of MAHA, its problematic connections to divine guidance, and the implications for public health. The conversation touches on the challenges of defining 'health', the historical context of similar movements, and the disturbing overlap with white nationalism and orthorexia. They also reflect on the emotional toll of researching MAHA and discuss the importance of community, empathy, and continuing the fight for body trust and liberation.
