Behind the Scenes of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Movement with Food Activist Courtney Swan

I mean, it's it's interesting and it'll be really I'm concerned because I feel like if Bobby doesn't get in there, I'm concerned that we're losing our opportunity to have somebody new in there that's going against the grain and going to actually bring up these questions.

That is true. Thank God. Is what I feel. Do you feel that way? Yeah, I do. I just worry that if we have somebody that gets in there, if Bobby doesn't get confirmed, that maybe it's just from the old school thinking. And then from the top down, we don't get a lot of change. But look, at the end of the day, I mean, I've been doing this work for publicly for 14 years now.

I've been talking about this in my inner circles for like 18 years. I'm so happy because I've never, I've never seen it talked about it on a stage like this before. It's getting national attention. I mean, whether or not it's like good or bad press, it's still, it's all over the, you know, Washington Post, New York Times. It's on our political stage now. We have our president saying this.

I mean, Trump literally said a couple months ago that he wants to get to the root of the epidemic that we're having right now of chronic disease. So I'm grateful that the conversation has at least been started and more and more people are starting to wake up and ask questions because I mean, if we can't, If we can't change from the top up, we can absolutely do it from the bottom. Yeah.

So it was a gradual waking up for me until it all just kind of hit me one day, I feel like, because I was very fortunate growing up. My mom has always been really healthy. I was the kid that my mom was buying the off brand natural cereals like we were shopping in a grocery store before we even had Whole Foods. But then Whole Foods came in and bought them out.

And it was this really small little natural food store. And I remember I would go to friends houses and just binge on their like Dunkaroos and Doritos and all the stuff that like I couldn't have. And at the time, I was pretty resentful to my mom about it. My mom still she loves to give me every time I see her now.

She's like, remember when you used to have tantrums every night because your friends were getting Burger King for dinner and I wouldn't let you have it because my mom was making. I mean, I look back and like it's just I'm horrified that I was so upset about it because my mom was making these gourmet meals from scratch.
