MAHA backers refuse to stop pushing for healthier food as Obama-appointed DEI judge deals blow

[Maximum Overkill 2,643]

The "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement hit the ground running in 2025 — pushing a wave of health policy changes nationwide, especially around food and nutrition. Now supporters vow that one court setback will not slow them down.

A West Virginia judge paused enforcement of parts of H.B. 2354 — the state law restricting certain food dyes and preservatives — during the holiday week, on Dec. 23. That triggered swift backlash from state leaders and advocates who say the fight is only intensifying.

In her ruling, Judge Irene Berger — appointed by former President Obama — said the law is "unconstitutionally vague because it fails to provide sufficient notice and invites arbitrary enforcement."

West Virginia's House Bill 2354, signed by Gov. Patrick Morrisey, aims to phase out specific artificial dyes in stages.

Beginning on Aug. 1 of this year, seven dyes were banned from school lunches — and starting Jan. 1, 2028, the same dyes, along with two preservatives, would be banned from food products sold statewide.

The judge’s new ruling does not apply to school nutrition programs — so the school-lunch portion remains on track even as the broader legal fight plays out.
