MAHA Report Favorable for US Livestock Industry

The Making America Healthy Again report, known as MAHA has recently gained national attention and discussions around public health. Our calf United star Growers of America. Bill Bullard shares his thoughts on how the report could bring positive momentum to the US beef industry.

“The report itself points to the importance of beef as maintaining metabolic health and a strong skeleton, and it also points to the fact that America's farmers and ranchers are the producers of Whole Foods, and the report says they should be the center of US healthcare. And so we were pleased to see the report. I think this was the first time in my memory that we've seen a multi-agency report that has really elevated the livestock industries as a solution to some of America's

ills.”

The Maha report highlights a growing crisis in childhood chronic disease across the US. Bullard says his organization will work closely with USDA to address the decline in children's health.

“They're talking about the revolving door between industry and the regulators, where it's hard to distinguish between the two, and of course, this includes pharmaceutical issues too, where big pharma has essentially influenced the direction of government regulations.”

The Department of Health and Human Services is the lead agency in authoring the MaHA report.
