Episode #197: MAHA MANIA: Are We Repeating the Low-Fat Fiasco? (Part One)

Beyond Labels Podcast

Joel Salatin and Dr. Sina McCullough slice into RFK Jr.'s newly published MAHA Commission report, weighing its bold promises against hard farm realities and cutting-edge science.

Joel breaks down the good, bad, and ugly for growers nationwide, while Sina reveals new studies on ultra-processed “chemical cocktails” that don’t fit MAHA’s tidy narrative—and could spark a policy misfire akin to Ancel Keys’ war on fat.

Is the commission poised to heal America or launch the next diet disaster? Find out in this fast-paced, no-punches-pulled episode.

We want to hear from you! Our Community Question for the week is:

Which brands of ultra processed (or processed) food do you think are poison and which are you okay eating?
