Robert F. Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again agenda is gaining momentum. During the ag leaders’ roundtable at North Dakota State University, the region’s unique role in the production of oilseeds was discussed. “There’s a lot of misinformation out on the internet about seed oils,” said John Sandbakken, executive director, National Sunflower Association. “We’re hoping you’ll be a strong advocate for seed oils and the healthy benefits that they do bring to our consumers.” U.S. Canola Association President Tim Mickelson also spoke out against the anti-seed oils movement. “At this university, my alma mater, everything revolves around science. It’s #1, we don’t get to where we are today in agriculture without following modern-day science,” said Mickelson. “As an organization, that’s what we support, follow where the truth and the science lead us.” Agriculture Secretary Rollins said HHS Secretary Kennedy brings a unique perspective to the administration. She said she is working closely with Kennedy on issues where there is agreement.
