MAHA movement praised for bringing ‘sea of change’ from Biden
The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” movement received praise from former Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal on Saturday, who contended that the current administration’s view on health is drastically different from that of the Biden administration.
As the new administration reached its 100th day in office on Tuesday, the Department of Health and Human Services has taken several actions to address the nation’s health, including HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. detailing a plan to remove petroleum-based dyes from food. Jindal, the one-time principal adviser to former President George Bush’s HHS secretary, celebrated the “sea of change” that President Donald Trump and Kennedy have done since Jan. 20, contending Trump has had a “great first 100 days.”
“Just remember for the last four years, we, the American people, were told that we weren’t competent enough to make our own healthcare decisions,” Jindal stated on NewsmaxTV. “Healthcare doctors, researchers, independent thinkers were censored if they tried to speak out against the establishment. People lost their jobs, folks were kicked out of the military if they refused to take a vaccine, even if they were healthy, even if their own doctors, their own counsel, said that they didn’t need or shouldn’t take the vaccine. What a difference under MAHA, under Secretary Kennedy, under President Trump, we have an administration that trusts the American people.”
Jindal also recounted the steps that Trump has taken in his MAHA movement, including signing an executive order to make prescription drugs more affordable. Beyond this, the former governor also expressed gratitude to how dairy manufacturers have “voluntarily” stated they would stop selling products to schools with artificial dyes.
Additionally, Jindal addressed how the Trump administration is “attacking the junk food in our SNAP program,” referring to how snack foods and non-alcoholic beverages, such as soda, can be purchased through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Jindal contended that people working to remove these items from SNAP are not saying they cannot eat and consume these foods, but rather that these foods should not be funded by taxpayers through SNAP.

“So look, only a hundred days, but three great steps: fighting high drug prices, fighting these artificial additives in our foods, fighting the taxpayer subsidization of junk food, but most importantly, trusting American patients,” Jindal stated. “What a breath of fresh air after four years when we were told to just how to be quiet and do what the establishment told you.”
On Wednesday, Kennedy stated that an overhaul of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans would be completed by “late summer or early autumn,” ahead of the previous deadline set for Dec. 31, 2025. Kennedy is working with Agriculture Department Secretary Brooke Rollins on this overhaul, with the pair arguing the guidelines were unnecessarily politicized and complicated by the Biden administration and previous federal health leaders.
