Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US health secretary, aims to send fresh food directly to Americans through a program called “MAHA boxes.” The concept is mentioned in a leaked report about improving children’s health and is also proposed in President Trump’s budget request for elderly Americans.
The idea is to provide whole, healthy food options to those who rely on government assistance programs. While the details are still unclear, Kennedy’s plan appears to be part of his efforts to promote healthier eating habits among vulnerable populations. However, it remains to be seen whether the program will actually materialize, given the lack of response from relevant government agencies.
