Hundreds of thousands of families in America are touched by cancer every year. My family is no exception. I think we can all agree that the goal of improving health outcomes is a worthy goal, and it is supported by America’s farmers and ranchers. Farmers are dedicated to growing safe and nutritious food for all of America’s families. We know that healthy lives are fueled by healthy meals, and those start on the farm.
The Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA, movement has the stated goal of addressing the causes of illness in the U.S., and it’s generated a lot of interest in how our food is produced. We welcome the discussion and the renewed curiosity from America’s families.
We also welcome the more open dialogue in recent months with MAHA Commission leaders about what it takes to keep America fed and the commitment of farmers to take care of our soil, water and other resources.
