The Trump Administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” is out, pointing to ultra-processed foods and pesticides as potential drivers of rising childhood chronic disease - underscoring the urgent need to re-examine how America grows, processes, and regulates its food. It also urges “thoughtful consideration” for the needs and challenges faced by farmers.
The report calls for a shift back to whole foods like beef, dairy, and leafy greens. While the Commission does question chemicals, like glyphosate, it stresses the need for more independent research and warns that without funding, real reform may be at a standstill.
HHS Secretary Kennedy says the MAHA Commission will provide policy recommendations, based on the report, for President Trump’s consideration. That is expected in the next 100 days.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins applauds the Administration’s leadership, saying, “We must do more to improve the health outcomes of our kids and families, and President Trump knows agriculture is at the heart of the solution. America’s farmers and ranchers dedicate their lives to the noble cause of feeding their country and the world, and in doing so have created the safest and most abundant and affordable food supply in the world. We are working to make sure our kids and families are consuming the healthiest food we produce.”
