The author notes that Doritos are considered ultra-processed foods. According to her, this is exactly the kind of food the MAHA movement seeks to avoid, while the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has called for people to “eat real food.”
STAT News reports that the new Doritos ad differs from the commercials the brand has used to attract attention in the past. As an example, the publication cites the 2016 Super Bowl ad in which a baby leaves its mother’s womb to taste nacho cheese.
