Calley Means resigns as top MAHA adviser amid reported food policy frustrations

Calley Means, a senior adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and leading MAHA advocate, resigned Thursday. He cited "entrenched, dark forces in DC" in a statement on X while voicing "tremendous respect" for Trump and Kennedy. He helped revise dietary guidelines and push food companies to drop artificial dyes. The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed people, that Means was frustrated by delays on policies including defining ultra-processed foods.
