"The guidelines were part of the administration's mission to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA). A key tenet of that agenda is to improve access to healthy foods. Asked by a reporter if eating healthier is more cost-effective, Rollins said: Yes, indeed. That eating healthy for the most part, we've got a hundred simulations is actually less expensive. The challenge comes is the access to those healthy foods, especially in parts of America where they have food deserts."
"INGRAHAM: Michelle Obama called them food deserts. I kind of used to poke fun at her for that, but maybe is she right? ROLLINS: In fact, there's part of that that's correct, but here's how we fix it INGRAHAM: We take it all back. She's right. Food deserts are defined as urban areas with little or no access to affordable or good-quality fresh food."
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Fox host Laura Ingraham retracted earlier criticisms of Michelle Obama's emphasis on food deserts. Rollins and other cabinet members unveiled new Trump administration dietary guidelines under the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign, emphasizing improved access to healthy foods. Rollins said healthier eating is generally less expensive based on simulations, but access remains the main challenge, especially in food deserts. Ingraham acknowledged that Michelle Obama was correct to call out food deserts after Rollins agreed. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced criticism when he proposed opening city-run grocery stores in such areas.
