Trump appointed a new USDA chief of staff that was the CEO and president of the National Oilseed Producers Association. The new head represented and lobbied on behalf of the canola, soybean, flaxseed, safflower seed, and sunflower seed crushing industries for seed oils, ultra processed foods, fuel, and animal feed. Over 90% of soy and canola is genetically modified, rowcropped, and sprayed with synthetic herbicides. The oligopolies on seed patenting, pesticides, and meatpacking stand to benefit from the appointment and future hires. The President and group lobbied for seed oils and worked with the same lobbyists as Bayer, Coca Cola, PepsiCo, DowDupont, and the national confectioners association. Many supporters feel trump has already abandoned his Make America Healthy Again promises.
