Summary

In this conversation…

The “MAHA Moms” insist their healthy living movement is all about “the children,” who you’ll quickly learn are being “poisoned” by all the “toxic” ingredients in our food supply or corrupted by the crooked doctors in our medical system. But which kids is this really for?

This episode is a Tour de Grift that explores some of the most notable figureheads, their claims, and how this information metastasizes—so that even @CrunchyMom6969 ends up sharing vaccine misinformation between enema cleanse updates.

misinformation radicalizing maha mamas all over America. And part of the challenge is that this

phenomenon is almost too broad and wide-ranging to discuss it as though it's this one coherent

0:56.2

thing. So the constituents of Maha land ranged from semi-reasonable, if overblown concerns,

1:04.7

sort of backed by science, to outright Q&N conspiracy slop. So I really thought, Carrow, that when I went into researching

this episode a couple weeks ago, I thought I was going to go into this and find myself agreeing

terrible and unsafe our food supply is. It wasn't really a stretch. It wasn't hard for me to believe that there

1:44.6

really could be extreme problems with the way that our food is made, that the food itself is bad.

1:49.0
