Making It Awkward 100 Days of Hellth and the MAHA Commission with Meghan Cichy, MPH, RDN and Selena Salfen, MPH, RDN
It's been 100 days of Hellth in America and boy do we need a vacation. This week Jessica is joined by dietitians Meghan Cichy and Selena Salfen to discuss what has happened in public health this year, and break down the MAHA Commission. They talk through what RFK Jr. and MAHA have been up to and how it will impact childhood nutrition. Jessica asks Selena and Meghan what happened to "childhood obesity."
