The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement has garnered tremendous attention and amassed a huge following since its inception in the 2010s. Advocates of the movement frequently reference a desire to return to an earlier time in American history—when life was simpler, food was more wholesome, and overall wellness was supposedly at its peak. But were Americans truly healthier in decades past? And does looking to the past genuinely promote better health, or is it merely a distraction that keeps us mired in nostalgia? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we explore the complexities of the MAHA movement and examine whether we should truly desire to return to a bygone era of American health.
