The Make America Healthy Again movement has sought to overrule food and farming practices over the past two years. The midterms dealt a blow to that movement. However, American Sugarbeet Growers Association former executive director Luther Markwart feels it will take time to sort out the path forward. You’re going to have to do an autopsy on what has happened,” Markwart told RRFN. “Oftentimes, the president in that second term will change a lot of people in his administration. What you want to watch is what conversations are going to happen between the Democratic leadership and the president. Do they want to work together or do they just want to fight for the next two years?” Even before the election, a key official within the Health and Human Services Department stepped down. Senior advisor Callie Means reportedly quit due to a lack of progress on MAHA priorities such as the regulation of glyphosate and other pesticides. “As long as Kennedy is there, things will proceed; just because Means isn’t part of the official administration doesn’t mean they just go away. I don’t think MAHA goes away.”
