It is no secret that Americans are not the healthiest populace in the world. We are overweight and don’t always make the best food choices.

I am a libertarian-leaning Republican who does not like the government telling me what I can and cannot eat or drink, yet I support the dietary guidelines released by the Trump administration in January. The guidelines, mirroring the message coming from the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, are realistic ways to guide Americans to better food and drink choices.
