Kennedy Jr., the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, spoke to a large audience from various sectors, including food brands and supplement sellers. Their presence highlights a concerning trend where leaders of the MAHA movement leverage anti-science rhetoric to promote their agendas, potentially undermining public health for profit. This matters because it raises questions about the integrity of health advocacy and the influence of profit-driven motives in shaping health policies.
