Ag Groups Ask Administration to “Correct” Course of MAHA

Concern about the Make America Healthy Again report led over 250 agriculture groups to ask the Trump administration to “correct” the direction of its MAHA goals.

In a letter dated June 13th to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.  The groups which included: American Farm Bureau Federation, American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association, the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives and many others, criticized the MAHA Commission’s “lack of transparency” in creating the report, adding it also did not allow any opportunity for public engagement.

In an article published by NOTUS, a digital news outlet, reporters noted the MAHA report contained a number of citation errors and “false claims” that could have been avoided with better industry input ahead of the commission’s report release.
