According to three people familiar with the matter, Americans will have to wait weeks for the Trump administration to “make America healthy again” in the next step on its agenda.
While President Donald Trump's Maha committee will submit its strategy to the White House on Tuesday (stand the deadline for execution of the order), the arrangements are stance in the way it is publicly released.
White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement that the committee is “opportunely” to report to the White House by August 12. “Short thereafter, the report will be unveiled to the public as we coordinate the timetables of the presidents and various cabinet members as part of our coordinating committee.”
According to familiar trio, officials aim to launch their strategy by the end of this month.
The committee’s first MAHA report published in May lists a case where ultra-popular foods, drug prescriptions and environmental toxins are driving the crisis of chronic childhood diseases in the United States. Many reported findings echo the long-term arguments of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health of the Leadership Committee.
The second part is expected to propose strategies and reforms to address these issues. Under the president's executive order, actions could include certain federal practices that “intensify the health crisis” and “add strong new solutions.”
Public health experts, Maha supporters and industry advocates are anxiously awaiting the committee’s recommendations and how far they will go.
Unease exists between farmers and agricultural groups after the first report marks the link between common pesticides and various diseases such as cancer and liver problems. Groups like the United Agriculture Agency called these “unproven theories” and warned that common pesticide questions endanger Americans' confidence in food supply.
Federal health and agriculture officials sought assurances to farmers in the following weeks. As reported by agricultural news and analysis firm DTN Progressive Farmer, a senior Environmental Protection Agency official told attendees this month at a sugar industry conference that agents will “respect” the current regulatory framework.
Another potential battlefield is the federal government’s advancement on super popular food. Kennedy leads an open campaign where major food brands voluntarily remove artificial additives and dyes from popular products, but nutrition advocates drive the government's crackdown on regulations.
This month, former FDA leaders challenged the agency to remove super-treated food from the market by essentially eliminating certain ingredients.
But some remain suspicious of the huge action taken by the Federal Mahap leaders.
“We need policies to change the big food and food systems so that healthier food can be produced,” Jim Krieger, executive director of Healthy Foods, said in a press conference on Monday. “It's going to [the MAHA commission] Go beyond PR efforts, voluntary agreements and handshakes (no in the past has ever really improved the food system) and suggest regulatory action with real teeth? ”
