Kennedy: Defend Our Food & Health, Tackle Corporate Abuses

The White House released its long-awaited Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) strategy report.

The report lays out the Trump administration’s priorities on food and childhood chronic disease, and it fails to address pesticides, factory farms, and the corporate control of our food system.

Tell Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy: This isn’t how you make America healthy. You must take on the powerful corporations that are poisoning our food system!

We urgently need sweeping changes to make our food healthier and safer and to stop corporations from controlling our most precious resources. Yet, your MAHA strategy report fails to address pesticides, factory farms, and the corporate control of our food system.

The MAHA approach falls short in a number of ways:

– It fails to address the impact that factory farms have on children. These facilities are often sited right next to homes and schools and release a cocktail of dangerous air pollution, including particulate matter, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide. The report fails to recommend enforceable exposure limits for hazardous air emissions.

– It lacks any real action on toxic pesticides, like glyphosate, linked to rising cancer rates nationwide, while Trump and allies in Congress are actively pushing for Cancer Gag Act language in the next spending bill that would give pesticide companies immunity against health-related lawsuits.

– It makes only a passing mention of rampant PFAS contamination in drinking water, while disregarding how common-sense water safety rules are being weakened and canceled elsewhere in the administration.

– And it doesn’t address Trump’s cuts, which have gutted food safety oversight and closed food safety labs. Trump’s gutting of the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) by 3,500 staff will leave the agency unable to implement even the few positive aspects of the MAHA report.

You can’t make America healthy without taking on the powerful corporations that are poisoning our food system. I urge you to use your power to push for real reform and publicly pressure Trump to take on the pesticide and chemical industries that YOU have agreed are making Americans sick.
