Kennedy Jr. and co-author of the MAHA policy framework, resigned from the Trump administration citing frustration over stalled food policy reforms. Sources say he was disillusioned by the food industry's influence and the White House's reluctance to regulate ultraprocessed foods or tighten school meal standards.
Background
