Top health adviser and MAHA ally quits Trump admin

Health entrepreneur Calley Means has resigned from his senior adviser post in the Trump administration. His departure highlights discontent within the MAHA base regarding the pace of food policy changes. Means cited unspecified "entrenched, dark forces in DC" as a reason for his resignation. He praised President Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vision for reform. The administration's efforts included overhauling dietary guidelines and advancing psychedelic therapies. They also aimed to restrict SNAP benefits for sugary drinks and encourage food companies to remove artificial dyes. Tensions escalated earlier in the year following an executive order to increase glyphosate production. This order conflicted with arguments from Kennedy and others within the movement who believe pesticides are harmful. Agriculture interests opposed these restrictions, citing potential price increases and economic losses for farmers. The administration had previously considered Casey Means, Calley's sister, for Surgeon General before withdrawing her nomination.
