Calley Means, Senior Adviser to US Health Secretary, Resigns

The resignation matters less as a personnel story than as a signal about the durability of the MAHA policy push. A federal definition of "ultra-processed foods" was the concrete regulatory lever at stake, and its champion's exit eases pressure on the food majors that fought it. The stated "first inning" framing suggests the movement intends to continue, but whether the food-system overhaul retains its momentum inside the department without its most prominent adviser is the open question worth watching.
