As the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. goes to the full Senate, healthy food activist and entrepreneur Vani Hari is thrilled by the national attention on his “Making America Healthy Again” movement.
Through her blog, called FoodBabe, she has been a relentless advocate for healthier, safer products from America’s largest food companies — and frustrated by the capture of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by lobbyists for Big Food.
Hari has written four bestsellers on healthy eating and joins hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers on The Drill Down to discuss her own health journey and answer whether she might join the new administration of President Donald Trump.
The child of two Indian immigrants, Hari grew up eating typical American fast foods and the highly processed foods of her new country. “We were one of the only Indian families in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the time,” she recalls. Later, as a young professional working in management consulting, Hari gorged on expense account meals of rich food.
“I was in and out of doctor’s offices as a result of the way I was eating,” she recalls. “However, no doctor asked me what I was eating. They literally just put me on four different medications to control my asthma, three different medications to control my eczema, antibiotics, and prednisone.” […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
