On January 24, 2026, Vani Hari — better known to millions as the “Food Babe” — sat down with Lara Trump on My View to lay out her mission to “Make America Healthy Again.” The segment was part testimony, part call to arms, as Hari tied her personal health struggles to a broader crusade for cleaner, safer food for American families.
Hari did not mince words: artificial food dyes, she argued, are not safe and too many of our grocery staples rely on petroleum‑based coloring that other countries have already rejected. She framed the fight as one between everyday parents and Big Food, urging consumers to demand the same standards here that exist overseas.
Long before this TV appearance, Hari built a record as an activist who uses petitions and consumer pressure to force corporate change, citing wins such as getting companies to remove suspect ingredients and forcing transparency on menu items. She points to inconvenient truths — that Americans are exposed to thousands of food additives while many European nations allow far fewer — and argues this double standard is unacceptable.
Conservatives should applaud ordinary Americans taking matters into their own hands rather than waiting for a bloated federal bureaucracy to drag its feet. When citizens organize, companies respond faster than any regulatory committee; that’s the market working as intended. If Washington won’t protect families, the people must — and they are showing they can do it without more red tape.
Hari also exposed a truth conservatives know well: corporate hypocrisy is real. Big food sells dye‑free versions abroad while keeping cheap, brightly colored versions on American shelves because it boosts sales here. That kind of profit‑first mentality deserves scrutiny and public accountability, not sanctimonious lectures from coastal elites.
This is not a call for a nanny state, and it’s not an automatic spray of conspiracy — it’s a straightforward demand for transparency, parental rights, and the freedom to choose healthier options for our children. Conservatives believe in personal responsibility and informed choice; that means labeling, clarity, and letting families decide what’s right for their households without government overreach.
Hari’s MAHA push — Make America Healthy Again — is more than a slogan when it lands on a prime‑time conservative platform that reaches millions. People who love their country and their families should pay attention when voices on the right and grassroots activists converge to protect kids from unnecessary chemicals. It’s common sense to expect American businesses to treat customers at home as well as they treat customers abroad.
If you’re a patriot who believes in strong families and a thriving America, now is the time to turn that belief into action: read labels, demand transparency, and pressure companies to quit selling inferior products to American consumers. Conservative values — freedom, accountability, and market solutions — offer the best path to healthier kids and stronger communities without surrendering our liberties to an indifferent bureaucracy.
