After the release of the Make America Healthy Again report, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. emphasized that the commissions report supports American agriculture while aiming to tackle rising chronic health issues in children.
The report focuses on improving food quality and reducing ultra-processed foods without compromising the ability of U.S. farmers to feed the nation and the world. Rollins praised the dairy industry’s proactive move to remove artificial colors from school products.
The report, commissioned by President Trump, aims to spark conversations on improving public health through nutrient-dense, homegrown foods. Concerns from the ag sector about potential restrictions on crop protection tools were addressed, with the report urging caution against adding regulations beyond current science-based standards.
The EPA reaffirmed the safety of the U.S. food supply and emphasized the agency’s continued commitment to science-driven evaluations of pesticides. Final policy recommendations are expected within 100 days.
