Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the leader of the Make America Healthy Again movement, has criticized the American food system for “poisoning our kids” with pesticide-laden, ultra-processed meals. In the spring, he warned that “major, dramatic changes” in school-nutrition guidelines—co-signed by himself and the actual Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins—would come in time for the new school year. (They didn’t.)

However, in March, the U.S. Department of Agriculture abruptly terminated $1 billion in Biden-era funding that had helped food banks, schools, and child-care centers procure fresh food from local farmers. As laid out in the “Big Beautiful Bill,” the Trump Administration will also oversee deep slashes to the SNAP food-assistance program—meaning that fewer children will be automatically eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch at school, and fewer schools will be able to continue offering universal free-meal programs. “MAHA’s stated commitment to improving child nutrition and the Administration’s antipathy toward social services are apparently incompatible,” Jessica Winter writes.

Your health depends more on your choices than your age...
It’s easy to blame age for poor health — “I’m getting older,” we say when we feel tired, gain weight, or face health issues. But the truth is, age is just a number. What truly shapes your health is the choices you make every day.

✅ Nutrition: Eating whole, balanced meals filled with fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and lean proteins can do more for your body than any anti-aging pill. A young person eating junk food daily may be at more risk than a senior who eats clean.

✅ Physical Activity: Staying active doesn’t mean extreme workouts. Even daily walks, yoga, or dancing can boost heart health, improve mood, and keep joints flexible — regardless of age.

✅ Mindset & Stress: Chronic stress and negative thinking age you faster than time ever could. Choose peace, mindfulness, and positivity. Meditate, breathe, rest. Your mind is the command center of your body.

✅ Habits & Lifestyle: Smoking, excessive alcohol, sleep deprivation, and sedentary lifestyles can harm anyone, no matter how young they are. On the flip side, healthy routines have helped 80-year-olds live like they’re 50!

✅ Preventive Care: Choosing to go for regular check-ups, listening to your body, and being proactive about your health makes a huge difference — again, that’s your choice, not your age.

💡 Every healthy choice you make is a deposit into your future well-being.

So instead of counting years, start counting steps, healthy meals, restful nights, and moments of joy. Because your health is not written in your birth certificate — it's built in your daily decisions.
