"The amount of almost violent reaction...from industry...calls to Susie...was the biggest policy battle I had seen up to that time. Just a word (glyphosate)," @calleymeans on pesticide industry efforts to change the #maha commission report

The battle over glyphosate.

Calley Means, former White House adviser, alleged that pesticide industry interests helped dilute glyphosate provisions in the Make America Healthy Again Commission report, pressured the administration to support Bayer in a Supreme Court case and used former White House and Health and Human Services adviser Susie Wiles' influence to shield Trump from decisions that conflicted with MAHA priorities.

Who profits from school lunches? One food industry exec described schools as a "penetration machine" that gets kids used to eating ultra-processed foods. @USRightToKnow #Healthwire

usrtk.org How food companies turn taxpayer-funded school meals into a market for ultra-processed foods Food giants use school meals to build brand loyalty with kids. Experts explain why schools rely on ultra-processed foods and what it would take to change.

Ultra processed food definition that would have helped shape school lunch programs "got stopped at the last second. I was told to change my speech the night before I was giving a talk at @HHSGov," Vani Hari @thefoodbabe

Vani Hari watched good food policy make it to the White House...And then watched the policy die at the very last minute.

Recently, the GRAS loophole was supposed to close, and finally we would have a definition for ultra-processed food - something that would have been amazing for other programs (like school lunch, for example).

The food industry pushed back hard, and she was told to change her speech the night before.

This is why the actual grassroots of MAHA means so much. People came together because they had common goals, and wanted answers on food, censorship, and medical choice.

That coalition of people is still there, and so much still needs to be done.

Marc Morano was a pioneer of the tactic of attacking scientists who report evidence that is inconvenient for corporate interests. I mentioned him in this chapter about how Monsanto used similar tactics to defend glyphosate usrtk.org/monsanto/attac… Sure #freespeech but #MAHA?

usrtk.org Documents show how Monsanto and Bayer led attacks on scientists, journalists How Monsanto and Bayer surveilled and attacked scientists, journalists and others who raised cancer concerns about glyphosate.

German CDU lawmakers want Baden-Württemberg to study a public register of people who repeatedly spread climate "disinformation." A government list of wrong opinions. Skyhorse publishes the people who'd land on it, like @ClimateDepot: amazon.com/dp/1684510856 #FreeSpeech

This is not a good sign at all.

We're furious that the Senate voted to advance this pro-data center, pro-polluter permitting bill. We call on the House to step up and show some courage by opposing this bill. foodandwaterwatch.org/press/2026/11/…
