肯尼迪高级顾问 Calley Means 辞职:曾牵线肯尼迪与特朗普结盟 称改革受阻而去

华盛顿——卫生与公众服务部(HHS)部长小罗伯特·肯尼迪的高级顾问 Calley Means 已于10月22日辞职。Means 当天在社交平台 X 上发文宣布离开特朗普政府,称自己离任时「对特朗普总统和肯尼迪怀有极大的敬意」。(GSM 据路透社、CNN、《华尔街日报》等综合报道)
Means 在声明中回顾了「让美国再次健康」(MAHA)运动取得的进展,包括修订联邦膳食指南、推动迷幻药类疗法、把含糖饮料移出联邦食品补助计划(SNAP)的可购范围等。他写道:「这场运动才打完第一局,一切刚刚开始。」他表示,离任后将继续在政府之外推进 MAHA 的议程。
据多名知情人士向媒体透露,Means 离任与他对多项食品政策推进速度的不满有关:为「超加工食品」制定联邦定义、以及要求学校餐减少添加糖并增加蛋白质的新规,都在行业方面的顾虑下被一再推迟。本月,一个 MAHA 活动人士联盟发布记分卡,称政府在限制农药使用、推广更健康食品等多数承诺上未能达标。
Means 是健康科技公司 Truemed 的联合创始人,2024 年与姐姐 Casey Means 合著《Good Energy》一书,成为 MAHA 运动的代表人物之一。他被广泛认为是促成肯尼迪与特朗普结盟的关键人物:2024 年大选期间,正是他从中牵线,肯尼迪随后结束独立参选并转而支持特朗普。
在政府内,Means 于 2025 年 3 月至 10 月先以特别政府雇员身份担任顾问,2025 年 11 月起转为正式高级顾问,负责食品与营养政策,参与推动修订膳食指南、限制用食品补助购买含糖饮料、去除人工食用色素、改革食品药品监管局 FDA 的「公认安全」(GRAS)框架等事项。他的姐姐 Casey Means 曾获提名出任联邦医务总监,该提名后来被撤回。
卫生与公众服务部与白宫未立即回应媒体的置评请求。
Calley Means Resigns as Senior Adviser to Health Secretary Kennedy
WASHINGTON — Calley Means, a senior adviser to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., resigned on October 22. Means announced his departure from the Trump administration in a post on X, saying he was leaving "with tremendous respect for President Trump and Bobby Kennedy."

In his statement, Means cited progress by the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement, including revised federal dietary guidelines, advancing psychedelic-based treatments and removing soda from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). "This movement is in the first inning and just getting started," he wrote, adding that he would keep working to advance the MAHA agenda outside government.
According to multiple people familiar with his decision who spoke to the media, Means had grown frustrated with delays to several food-policy priorities: a federal definition of ultra-processed foods and a school-meal rule requiring less added sugar and more protein had both been repeatedly postponed amid industry concerns. This month, a coalition of MAHA activists released a scorecard saying the administration had failed to meet most of its promises on restricting pesticides and promoting healthier food.
Means co-founded the health technology company Truemed and co-wrote the 2024 book "Good Energy" with his sister, Casey Means, becoming one of the MAHA movement's most prominent voices. He is widely credited with introducing Kennedy to Trump during the 2024 campaign, an introduction that preceded Kennedy ending his independent presidential bid and endorsing Trump.
Inside the government, Means first served as a special government employee from March to October 2025, then became a permanent senior adviser in November 2025 supporting food and nutrition policy. His work included revising the dietary guidelines, restricting sugary-drink purchases under SNAP, removing artificial food dyes, reforming the Food and Drug Administration's Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) framework and improving federal food procurement. His sister Casey Means was nominated to serve as surgeon general, a nomination that was later withdrawn.
HHS and the White House did not immediately respond to media requests for comment.
