Описание: It's been about a year since President Donald Trump signed an executive order, "Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission."

Since then, MAHA has brought together a lot of strange bedfellows, ranging from people who want Americans to eat less sugar to others who want to ban the polio vaccine. Which begs the question — what, exactly, is the Make America Healthy Again movement… and is any of it actually making America healthier? To find out, we spoke to Rina Raphael. She's a journalist focused on wellness culture and the author of The Gospel of Wellness: Gyms, Gurus, Goop, and the False Promise of Self-Care.

And in headlines, U.S. and Iranian representatives are set to meet today in Switzerland, funding for the Department of Homeland Security expired over the weekend, and former President Barack Obama feeds our inner conspiracy theorist by talking about aliens on a podcast.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.
