AI Overview

The “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement initially took shape as a grassroots political slogan and concept during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 presidential campaign in July 2024.The movement transitioned from a campaign slogan into a formalized federal policy and institutional initiative in early 2025. Key milestones in its official establishment include:

February 13, 2025: President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order formally establishing the MAHA Commission, chaired by Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr..

May 2025: The HHS released the government’s official MAHA Assessment on childhood chronic diseases, cementing the movement’s focus on food safety, environmental toxins, and prevention-first public health.

Naming it Apeel while someone else is selling a floor cleaner with the same name is kind of stupid. Even though it’s a great idea and I think understand the concept and how it works, having Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and Katie Perry putting their names on it scares the living hell out of me.

Good. I am glad they destroyed this company.

Industrial espionage and sabotage. Someone needs their as*ses sued.

Re-name it and rebrand it. Be sure all marketing literature includes the words “all natural” and “plant based” and “contains no additives.”

There’s a demand for it, and if it is what this article says it is (I still don’t trust any MSM article that tries to drag Trump into it), there should be good demand.

In America schizophrenics, tormented people with no ability to discern reality, have run wild.

Y’all got backstabbed, but not by MAHA — quit trying to blame DJTrump.

BTWay, taking money from Gates for anything is kinda like doing business with a pedo. Well, actually, not “kinda like”; actually spot on.

As to getting done in by WWW arseholes, you must not have been as successful as you told everyone. I like your idea but you sound too fragile.

The idea that anything connected to Gates is automatically bad is very low IQ. In this case it was actually the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I guess the low IQers think he’s trying to poison people.

I didn’t think this mini-novel would ever end....so from what I gathered from the article (I read all of it,not recommended) this guy derived a sealant from grape seed and coated fresh produce so as to inhibit the natural decomposition. Some broad types in all sorts of accusations that its oil based/Bill Gates is the funding source and other detrimental statements (she eventually settled after being sued) This product is still used in Europe and elsewhere but the American market was lost to Apeel. The article is too long .

Cheap shot trying to say MAHA had anything to do with this company’s problems.

Actually, gylcerides naturally occur in foods, are generally recognized as safe, and are sometimes taken as health supplements. In business school, the example of Apeel could be taught as a case in which a good product that is a success in the marketplace is undone by PR failure in not responding to critics in a timely and effective manner.

Rush Limbaugh had great shows on things like this.

An Unhappy Anniversary: The Alar ‘Scare’
“Overview, on February 26, 1989, an environmental health canard was made public, hyperbolically. The principal result was mass hysteria over Alar¨¬a chemical product that was not otherwise noteworthy except for its usefulness to apple growers and apple consumers. This unfounded yet widespread public-health fright tops the list of such frights in the latter half of the twentieth century.

They make a good point most fruits are covered in petroleum based paraffin wax or polyethylene based polymers. You literally are eating oil at the molecular level. With the added goodies of polyethylene shedding micro plastics all over the place. Oh and you really cannot wash off either both are impervious to Main based surfactants again at the molecular level. You can peel them off with a pealer and discarded the skin but all the micro amounts still got all over and in the flesh of what ever you pealed.

Mono and diglycerides are naturally found in grapes they are fatty acid polymers.

The lack of basic organic chemistry knowledge and more importantly understanding is sad and represents an abject failure of the American educational system.

I agree it is low IQ people who NPC xxxxxx person bad. Be it orange man bad or “ evil billionaire” bad. It represents group think behavior which is indicative of lower IQ thought processing.

I can guarantee nobody at a Mensa meeting exhibit such low IQ Behavior. I certainly have never seen such behavior at a Mensa meeting in person.

Growing it wasn’t the problem. Keeping it fresh was

How about picking it at the peak of ripeness and flash freezing it?

I think it is safe to say there is far more disinfo on the ‘net than solid information.
