Beef tallow is a small part of the report. What is more “interesting” is that RFK promised to end industry influence over dietary guidelines but his scientific panel takes money from cattle + dairy industries. And 🥛 and 🥩 just happen to be at the top of the new inverted pyramid.

Glyphosate is a big problem full stop. It comes down to two things: 1. lack of independent research establishing its safety and 2. the huge volumes of this pesticide applied in agriculture all over the world. #glyphosate #roundup #pesticides www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/c...

This will be an interesting test of MAHA’s power. Will we see, in a month or two, a kind of capitulation to Zeldin, in the interest of keeping MAGA-MAHA aligned? Hard to imagine MAHA winning real reforms at the EPA.
