Sweetgreen, which relies on New York as its biggest market, is launching a new menu in partnership with anti-vaxxer and junk science promoter Mark Hyman.
Hyman has built a supplement hawking grift operation that’s largely based on building public distrust in evidence-based medicine. He’s also directly collaborated with RFK Jr. to promote discredited theories about vaccine harms.

It’s incredibly disappointing that Sweetgreen is attracting customers to this guy’s grift by promoting him, but apparently the company thinks it’s good business to pander to the MAHA crowd. The company’s founders seem to be true believers in the guy too, as they’re also tied in with MAHA leaders like Casey and Calley Means. Co-founder and CEO Jonathan Neman even made MAHA hats all the way back in 2016.
I think I’ll be getting my overpriced workweek lunches elsewhere from now on.
