MAHA Food Reforms & Beef Prices

from The Lion Week in Review · host The Herzog Foundation

Chris Stigall brings exclusive conversations from Washington, D.C. First, FDA Deputy Commissioner Kyle Diamantis discusses the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement's momentum on food quality. He credits Secretary Kennedy for elevating issues like food dyes, ultra-processed foods (70% of kids' calories), and the flipped Dietary Guidelines promoting real, whole foods—impacting school meals, SNAP, and $400 million daily federal nutrition spending. Diamantis addresses glyphosate frustrations as part of a non-linear progress toward regenerative farming, while noting industry responsiveness to consumer demand and the protein marketing boom.Then, Congressman Derrick Van Orden previews Trump's State of the Union focus on patriotism and accomplishments (tax cuts, no tax on Social Security/tips/overtime, family farm protections). He explains soaring beef prices due to the New World screw worm parasite (border closed to Mexican feeder cattle imports for protection), the need for small family farms, and upcoming Farm Bill changes for intrastate meat marketing.A deep dive into health policy, rural America, and economic realities.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:37 - Kyle Diamantis on MAHA & Food Moment00:01:28 - Passion for Food Quality00:03:03 - Flipped Dietary Guidelines00:04:36 - Ultra-Processed Foods Crisis00:05:13 - Europe vs. U.S. Food Spending00:06:16 - Post-WWII Shelf Stability Origins00:07:44 - Food Dyes & Industry Response00:08:35 - Protein Boom in Marketing00:09:51 - Glyphosate Discussion00:11:56 - Derrick Van Orden Interview00:13:14 - Tax Wins and Family Benefits00:14:33 - Rural America & Family Farms00:15:05 - Supply Issues & Small Producers00:16:02 - Screw Worm Threat00:17:24 - Border Closure Explanation00:18:56 - Voter ID Broad Support00:20:36 - On The Filibuster00:21:46 - Frustrations of Congress00:25:30 - Faith and Freedom 250Follow Heartlander News on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.  You can also sign-up for our newsletter and follow our coverage at HeartlanderNews.com.To learn more about the Herzog Foundation, visit HerzogFoundation.com.
