As the head of the US Food and Drug Administration, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spearheaded a bold movement to fundamentally improve the average American diet.

His “Make America Healthy Again” initiatives, backed by the White House, have already begun to pay real dividends, including within the ranks of the military.

During a wide-ranging recent interview with Breitbart, Kennedy explained:

One of the other barriers to changing the dietary culture is that the convenience of ultra-processed food has persuaded a lot of people that they don’t need to cook at home ever. And so people have forgotten how to cook, and it actually is a lot cheaper to eat good food if you cook it at home.

Well, you know, we have a program in the military where we’re feeding the troops really high-quality food on five bases. We’re going to expand that to all the bases. But the food prior to us getting there—and the guy who’s doing it is a famous television chef, Robert Irvine, who used to work for the British Navy—he’s doing the menu now for the military.

And the military, you know, Pete Hegseth was worried that this was going to break the bank and cost a lot of money to actually feed the troops what they want. He was going to do it. But the cost that the Pentagon allocated and was being spent prior to Chef Irvine getting there was $18.50 per day per soldier. So that’s for three meals, $18.50. We are now feeding them for $10 a day.

And one of the things that Chef Irvine said from the beginning is we don’t need more money—we just need to buy smarter. And, you know, if you buy a frozen salmon fillet, it costs $9. If you buy a fresh one, it costs $6. And if you make good choices, you can eat cheaper and you can stay well and stay healthy.

This was just one of the latest victories claimed by MAHA proponents:

The Free Press reported on the MAHA movement’s apparent impact on a recent Senate race:

But this weekend’s trouncing of Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana in the Republican primary sent a very different signal. As the votes were being counted on Saturday night, I finally heard back from Tony Lyons, a staunch supporter of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and co-president of MAHA PAC, a political fundraising machine. Lyons had little to say to me during the campaign, when polls showed that Cassidy would probably advance to a runoff. According to the most recent Federal Election Commission filing, MAHA PAC spent $584,000 opposing Cassidy and supporting Julia Letlow, a two-term Congresswoman who entered the GOP primary for the Senate seat after Trump publicly encouraged her in January.

But Lyons was more vocal as soon as it was obvious that Cassidy, 68, would become only the second incumbent Louisiana senator to lose reelection since 1932. “Senator Cassidy defended big pharma and the broken medical establishment against the health and welfare of American families,” Lyons told me. “Voters across the country are joining the MAHA rebellion against the corruption that allowed companies to poison their children.”

Letlow, 45, won 45 percent of the primary vote, while Louisiana treasurer John Fleming received 28 percent. Cassidy finished last with just 25 percent.

By Election Day, MAHA PAC had poured close to $750,000 into the Senate race in Louisiana, said Lyons, and will continue to support Letlow through the June 27 runoff. Overall, the three Republican candidates on the primary ballot spent $22.1 million as of April 26, according to their campaign filings. Letlow spent $2.8 million, while Fleming spent $9.9 million and Cassidy spent $9.4 million.
