It's a noble motive, but it's funny to see people who pilloried Michelle Obama for attacking the American way of life a decade ago jumping on the MAHA bandwagon.
MAHA is removing a lot of your jerkwater regulations and democrat leftist financial incentives.
Excellent progress. Burn it all down.
“Jerk water regulations” force companies to keep poison out of our water, soil, and food, chief.

I love their effort to restrict unhealthy additives, but I know that it will never come to pass. None of their actually great ideas do. The only ones they manage to implement, for a little while, are terrible ideas.
But yes, I'm all for limiting sugar, artificial ingredients, etc and banning carcinogenic pesticides that the EU has banned for a while now.
Well MAHA earned their place in MAGA by shamelessly grifting. MAGA respects that but it's also why none of MAHAs serious proposals are going to happen. There's an ivermectin pusher on the vaccine panel now so everyone is going to have to rely on state vaccine committees.

It's probably a fair criticism. I'm one of these "was liberal til covid" who fled a blue state and voted for Trump in a recent election. So the mythical demographic that democrats insist are a fiction. MAHA isn't something that would normally be associated with the right but there are a lot of people like me. I've met several people where I live now who escaped other places, mostly LA, and and are former liberals who are now MAHA. I mean, you're right that we aren't typical conservatives but we also don't belong amid democrats either.

Stupid trumpies. I hate the idea of MAHA.

Why can’t people just have the freedom to choose for themselves ?

Clear and concise regulation that benefits people and isn't a victim of industry capture is a clear good.

News Flash:
Americans now have the sickest children in the world. I doubt that was the case before “federal agencies were keeping us healthier”.
Gut them all and start over. Keep the pharmaceutical industry far away. Ban the poisons from the food supply.
Really? With all the regulations you've been pushing over the decades? How could that possibly be?
Grok says the federal register has 107K pages in 2024 and had 96K pages in 2016. All those rules, policies, guidelines, regulations, studies, processes and procedures and we still have the sickest children?
How could that possibly be??
How can it be?
Are you naive or ignorant?
Do you not understand how regulation happens?
Do you think American industry stands still and isn't constantly coming up with new pesticides and food additives and packaging and other things that mess with our food supply? NO. They don't. Industry keeps coming up with new things, some of which harm people. And when the government figures out it's harmful they are on the hook to respond with regulations.
Some regulations come into play which only large players can afford. The smaller players are run out of business or absorbed for pennies on the dollar by the larger players, or they move overseas.
That reduces competition in that field. Those who are left adjust prices upward because they now have more leverage thru reduced competition. That hurts the consumer.
You wonder why all the "mom and pop" stores and manufacturers have gone out of business and we're left with mostly big box players. In many cases, mountains of regulation did it.
If we don’t want mountains of regulation we should probably stop treating corporations and businesses like they are Gods and more important than the actual people and environment. Business is incentivized to make a profit at all cost and very rarely severely punished for the harm they do.
When that paradigm changes so will the need for massive regulation. We can see this right now with ICE who is running around terrorizing folk. But what you haven’t seen or heard about is major fines on businesses.
