MAHA Is Complicating One of the Hardest Parts of Parenting Dinnertime has gotten even more stressful.

For parents, part of MAHA’s appeal is the promise that it’ll make food healthier for their children. Instead, its nutrition advice may be piling on labor, more costs, and confusion, @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social reports.

Food companies are capitalizing on some of MAHA’s favored dietary principles. The trend might change American diets for the worse, @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social reports. https://theatln.tc/dLYAQjKA

It’s officially been one year since MAHA was born. Tracking the latest. Taking stock of one year of MAHA. Kennedy: Dietary Guidelines on track for late September. The latest on SNAP restrictions waivers.

The MAHA Trend in Groceries Will Backfire Without real reform, Americans might just end up eating more junk food.

Eat the tallow fries because they're delicious, not because they're better for you!!!

The MAHA-Washing of American Groceries Has Begun It doesn’t bode well for the American diet.

Are You Cowmaxxing? Beef-tallow moisturizer is just the beginning of cow-based wellness.

Bone broth, bovine colostrum, beef-tallow deodorant, powdered bull testicle: American wellness has entered its cowmaxxing era, @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social reports.

Americans Are All In on Cow-Based Wellness Beef-tallow moisturizer is just the beginning.

America has apparently entered its cowmaxxing era. This is fascinating (and darkly hilarious) by @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

The Midtown Manhattan shooter speculated that CTE was a cause of his mental illness. But drawing that line is premature—and dangerous, @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social writes. https://theatln.tc/FFmCSbQc

American Summers Are Starting to Feel Like Winter Climate change is doing a number on people’s warm-weather blues.

Summer is coming down to a choice between enduring the heat and avoiding it—both of which might, in their own ways, be making people sick, @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social reports.

The New Sun Worship Tanning is back. And this time, it’s not just about looking good.

It's a Red Hot American Summer 🥵

These women dedicated almost 50 years to science. Their efforts may soon be trashed | CNN Nurses in the US provided biological samples for decades to help study women’s health. Here’s what they think of President Trump’s actions that may end its funding.

Destroying 50 years of women’s health samples is like ‘burning the Library of Congress’ www.cnn.com/2025/07/01/h...

New York Is Hungry for a Big Grocery Experiment Small towns have tried public grocery stores. How would they fare in a major city?

For all the criticism—and praise—of Zohran Mamdani's public-grocery plan, it's never been attempted in a major US city. It would be a total experiment.

Experimentation is risky. But given NYC's food affordability crisis, so is doing nothing.

New Yorkers May Soon Be Grocery Guinea Pigs Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s public-grocery plan is a $60 million experiment.

Because nothing exactly like Zohran Mamdani’s plan for public groceries has ever been tried before in a large city, no one can be certain whether it will really be able to sell more affordable food, let alone help address health. @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social reports:

MAHA Is Coming for Mayonnaise Emulsifiers raise some real health concerns, but food wouldn’t be the same without them.

Emulsifiers have become targets in RFK Jr.’s push to remove many additives from the American diet. But without them, food wouldn’t be the same, @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social reports.

Brace Yourself for Watery Mayo and Spiky Ice Cream MAHA is coming for emulsifiers.

MAHA's crackdown on food additives has another target—one you've probably never heard of. Prepare to hear a lot more about emulsifiers.

A PTSD Therapy ‘Seemed Too Good to Be True’ What if overcoming trauma can be painless?

This, by @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social, is such a powerful rumination on how "it’s promising, but more research is needed" is meant to strengthen emerging science—but can also thwart it

Fantastic and ultimately tragic story by @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social. The mind is such a mystery.

A Bizarre PTSD Therapy ‘Seemed Too Good to Be True’ What if overcoming trauma can be painless—even fun?

RTM is a little-known PTSD treatment that helps patients overcome trauma without confronting it directly—a potentially huge breakthrough for veterans, if it can be vetted scientifically.

Over the last few months, I investigated whether it's too good to be true.
