The idea of making the U.S. more like Europe is anathema to many in the Trump administration. But that’s what the Make America Healthy Again movement says it wants — at least when it comes to food.
“There are all of these areas where I think Europe is doing a lot of things right, but those policies haven’t been acknowledged” by the MAHA movement, said Alyssa Moran, director of policy and research strategy at the University of Pennsylvania’s Psychology of Eating and Consumer Health (PEACH) Lab.
“Food is one component of noncommunicable diseases,” Moran said, “but there are myriad factors that contribute to long-term health.”
