Why the Food Industry and the Left Really Hate MAHA Ambassador RFK Jr.
New York Post ^ | Sep. 7, 2025 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 09/08/2025 11:37:36 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Of all Donald Trump’s cabinet picks, it’s Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who attracts the most vitriol, which is saying something. You could see just how much the Health and Human Services secretary is despised last week at a Senate committee hearing when Democrat after Democrat abused him with slurs like “charlatan” and demanded he resign. There is an orchestrated campaign to force him out that includes the overplayed political ploy of an “open letter from nine former CDC leaders” and another letter from 1,000 current and former HHS employees calling on him to step down.

But why would he resign? He’s only just getting started on Trump’s Make America Healthy Again agenda, which is popular with Americans of all stripes, especially Republicans, 73% of whom rated it favorably in the latest Insider Advantage poll. It addresses public concern that transcends party lines about chronic disease, food safety and vaccine skepticism, the latter of which can be blamed on the lies we were told during the COVID-19 pandemic, not on RFK Jr.’s six months in office.

MAHA is a threat to powerful entrenched interests, and RFK Jr. is under siege from all sides as he tries to implement his plans to solve chronic disease in the United States.

He’s the finest public servant we’ve seen in decades.

The Democrats attacking him, such as Elizebeth Pocahontas Warren and Bernie the commie, are all on the payroll of Big Pharma. They’re liars and don’t care about the health of children in this country.

Any national bureaucracy that has had the operating fiction working for it for decades that just because “experts” are appointed to official government roles, they are magically endowed by powers of “expertise” above any other mortals, and therefore must always be deemed perfect and correct, is a bureaucracy where internal orthodoxies have taken hold and what it has become most “expert” at his defending its own entrenched orthodoxies, and not “science”, “economics” or any thing else.

First of all, fire every employee who signed the letter for Kennedy’s removal. Fire their asses publicly so any future employer will be able to check their name.

Voting for Trump this last election was easy, adding RFKJr and Tulsi Gabbard made it a commitment.

When the flak is the most intense it means you’re over the target.

The pharma industry probably hates RFK Jr.

The food industry? Besides a few of the largest, processed-food corporations? They aren’t really affected.

I’d get rid of all internal employed
scientists.

Instead, on any matter needing expert review for an official government policy/decision, the agency should solicit multiple outside independent organizations, to review the questions and submit their opinions. The “expertise” of the agency then is to publicly convene the outside experts to hear their independent views, and following that to then try to come to some internal consensus, to provide public transparency about that consensus, and admit that beyond the resulting official position further evidence and experience could prove a different policy is needed.

Any many matters that final official consensus opinion should be no more legally enforceable than a “good housekeeping seal of approval” - a good recommendation, period.

Lastly. an official position that is supposed to have legal teeth to it with civil and or criminal penalties for not following it, should have to go to Congress as a recommendation Congress should legislate into law. The administrative state should not have independent power to legislate on its own. Yes, it would mean fewer regulations, just because the time available for Congress to act is limited. That process would on its own limit the number of new regulations, which by itself would be a good thing. Congress would act only when enough members were convinced the severity of a new regulation warranted action.

The accountants who run corporations count and practically orgasm over every penny they can cut from costs to enhance margins. Those in the food industry will definitely hate what RFK is beginning to force on them, substituting more costly safe and nutritional ingredients for the chemicals they’ve been poisoning us with for decades.

An ongoing dilemma, cheap crappy food or perhaps more costly better food. Let the markets decide BUT demand transparency.

How about the medical profession that has done nothing about the food or drugs

“MAHA is a threat to powerful entrenched interests”

More than a threat to big pharma MAHA is a threat to the BELIEF system of most who do not believe in God. The US secular world BELIEVES that BELIEF in witchdoctors with PHDs and MDs is the path to a world with no sickness, no evil.

You are correct. Secular Humanists have their own gods.

As is Tulsi. She may be number one on the most hated list. Both former donks. I love it.
