Blue states are reassuring whoever it is that needs it that the CDC gods in the DHHS pantheon, whom they forced you to worship and obey during COVID, are now false gods. The latest commandments from the burning bush in DC are crazy talk. There’s no way they are dropping their mandated vaccine schedule from … Read more
You can pay more if you want to. We’ve got stores hereabouts that’ll take 4-5 dollars a dozen for eggs, but they always did that. The Biden printing press inflation/spending machine drove the cost of everything up. Who was it that lost their mind when they found out a pound of butter was over seven … Read more
I spoke at Vermont’s annual Liberty Food Fest on December 12 regarding the benefits of grass-fed over grain-fed beef. To spice it up a bit and keep my audience’s attention, I repurposed a nursery rhyme for the occasion. (I even sang it!) Here are the lyrics of my 2025 version of the classic children’s rhyme: … Read more
Today on the Morning Update, it is expected that people will eat with utensils, some sort of racist, white colonialistic cultural pressure campaign. Some libs (prolly white women) think so, let’s take a look.

Kennedy Jr. and Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins jointly announced a $700 million pilot program to prevent soil erosion by supporting regenerative farming practices. The MAHA-inspired project, designed to improve domestic production of healthy, fresh meats and produce, has already … Read more
A Wary Eye on the Food Supply In 2006-2007, Americans’ pet cats and dogs began dying mysteriously from kidney failure. The mystery was not long-lived: authorities quickly discerned the cause to be pet foods laced with a chemical called melamine, or some combination of chemicals that likely included melamine and cyanuric acid. This was a … Read more
There are very few situations in which being fat is anything other than a problem with impulse control. Combined with decades of bad food science pushed by the government and the reality that the cheap food, like cheap everything else, is at the bottom of every quality pyramid, getting and staying fat is easy. Losing … Read more
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced legislation on Nov. 20 that would prohibit the use of federal funds or tax credits to support solar panel development on productive farmland. The Protecting American Farmland Act mirrors legislation introduced in the House in May by Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH). The bills effectively reverse tax and funding support for … Read more
“Rallying the culture to be interested in, and then to understand, food differences is perhaps the single most important starting point to ultimately Make America Healthy Again.” — Joel Salatin There is much to be grateful for, starting with the historic partnership between President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and their … Read more
As a farmer, I have long known of the poor quality of ultra-processed foods. Pigs and rats were my best teachers. Raising pigs for the first time more than two decades ago, we sought to save on feed costs by recycling human foods in lieu of grain. Initially, I fed our pigs canned goods beyond … Read more
While tables groaned with a plenitude of food, those who nurture and grow it face unprecedented threats to survival For most Americans, Thanksgiving Day means family and friends gathering to share healthy, home-cooked foods, usually featuring a large turkey or ham as the centerpiece. As the holiday’s name implies, it is a day of gratitude … Read more

For the past four months, MAHA Action, of which The MAHA Report is a part, has been supporting governors across the country with rural health initiatives designed to secure federal subsidies under President Trump’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP).

On September 28, the New York Times featured an article by industry shill Michael Grunwald titled “Spraying Roundup on Crops is Fine. Really.” Carrying such a claim under the Times’ “series on environmental health” was ironic if not oxymoronic. Mr. Grunwald’s pesticide apologetics gaslight Americans about the profound long-term threats posed by chemicals such as glyphosate The usual … Read more
I’m sure it’s common knowledge that the reason for smaller grocery stores(Sully’s, IGA, Harvester, Jeannotte’s, etc.) being more expensive than their big box competition is that they are not going to sell 100 of (insert everyday item here) each day to make that discount price sustainable. Living in the exurbs, my early memories include my … Read more
The old adage about playing “good cop, bad cop” to elicit a result offers a metaphorical counterpart in an ongoing challenge to EPA approval processes for new chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Enacted during President Trump’s first administration to impose stricter oversight of new chemicals, TSCA may be defanged under his current … Read more
Americans struggling with grocery budgets will have noticed that the cost of beef has been particularly high. The Trump administration inherited the problem of elevated meat and grocery prices, which had been exacerbated by broad inflation during the Biden administration. Numerous pressures have pushed steak and hamburger prices to new highs. President Trump recently proclaimed … Read more
The climate change crowd may or may not intend to undermine farmers and food production, but it is an obvious result. Displacing farmland with solar panels and “rewilding” fertile pastures to grow trees for carbon sequestration reduces available agricultural acreage. This drives up land prices, making it harder for young farmers to take the reins … Read more
I have been raising grass-fed beef in Vermont for about 25 years, so maybe I’m a tad biased about what some may regard as a fad. However, the trend is gaining momentum worldwide. More people have come to appreciate the health benefits of consuming grass-fed beef, as well as the additional ethical and environmental advantages … Read more
