The Crusader Crusade in RFK JR. A strange political reorganization

He also puts him in a collision cycle with people worried that the transition to organic crops will make it difficult for the United States to achieve its climatic goals. Organic crops tend to produce a lower return for each acre, which requires larger areas of land to develop the same amount of crops, which in turn increases carbon emissions and threatens biological diversity as more lands are converted into agriculture.

On January 14, the Environmental Research Group is a penetration institute I published a message Opposition to Kennedy’s confirmation as the Secretary of HHS. The message is cited as a warning from the Sri Lankan government’s decision in April 2021 to turn into organic agriculture, which led to a decrease in revenues, the prices of food, and demonstrators who stand the presidential palace. The chemical embargo was encouraged by Sri Lanka by environmental activist Vandana Shiva, who RFK JR. a description As a “hero” and “a role model”.

If confirmed in the role of HHS, RFK JR. It will have a limited impact on agricultural policy, says Emily Pass, the assistant director of federal policy, food and agriculture in penetration. But he was under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration, which imposes food regulation in the United States. “The limits of pesticide residues are something that can definitely affect its regulations,” says Pass. And “reducing the use of genetically modified crops, or more accurately monitored in food supply, is something that can create a chilling effect on agricultural production.”

HHS Secretary also oversees the National Health Institutes, which funds and coordinates medical research in the United States. Bass says that Kennedy may try to direct the agency and FDA to produce research in pesticides and food additives that are then used to support litigation in an attempt to change how American farms. This may transform the FDA out of an explicit organizational agency into more than one active organization.

His ability to do any of this is likely to be restricted by Brock Rollins, Trump’s choice of the head of the US Department of Agriculture, who is seen as a very traditional candidate for this role. Rolins Staff is Kailee Tkacz Buller, former President and CEO of the National Oil Seed Association. RFK JR. By constantly attacking oil seeds, Writing on x “Seed oils are one of the most unhealthy ingredients that we have in foods” and direct followers to buy hats with the logo “Make frying oil again.”

In her confirmation session, Rollins indicated that she would follow the president’s line on agriculture, and it is unlikely that President Trump will want to disturb farmers and the personalities of the agricultural industry who are its natural components. “I work for him. At that time, she said:” I am a member of the cabinet. “

There are already signs that conservative legislators are preparing for organic agriculture. “From a historical point of view, we have not received great attention from the most conservative members of Congress,” says Gordon Merik, chief policy and program manager at the Organic Research Corporation, a non -profit institution that provides research in organic agriculture.

Now, Merik says, he is holding much more meetings with “very conservative” legislators. “Many of them said they are interested in hearing more about membership due to the effect of RFK and the growth of making America healthy again.”
