  • And one of the administration's loudest critics of ultra-processed foods, announced he was stepping down.

  • An eagle-eyed reporter with The Wall Street Journal noticed and reported

  • that shares of food companies jumped in the hours after Means announced his resignation,

  • apparently signaling relief from Big Food that a nemesis was departing.

  • This is a misread by the markets.

  • Moms are not going to settling for their kids being poisoned for General Mills to gain 8% on their stock.

  • This cultural movement has just started and we are not going back.

  • Today on Today Explained from Vox, the Maha movement has been trying to strong arm food companies into changing

  • how they do things in the interest of our health.

  • That eagle-eyed WSJ reporter is going to tell us just how hard that really is, starting with the blue M&M.

  • Support for TechSplain comes from Adio.

  • There are sales teams out there who never seem to stop moving,

  • always a step ahead, always working with a level of precision that doesn't seem normal.

  • They may be on Adio, the agentic CRM.

  • This is the frontier of go-to-market.

  • Teams like Parallel.
