Exclusive details inside the junk food industry's fight against RFK and MAHA. I have memos and recent records from lobbyists representing major agribusiness and processed food clients (corn oil producers, sugary cereals, soda, fast food).
They lay out plans to spike RFK's health agenda:
-- Senate confirmation. They note that as RFK meets with Senators, they will ask discretely that he trades major MAHA policy items away in order to get to 50 votes.
-- Joe Rogan and independent podcasts. They call for shifting advertising budgets of major snack producers and processed foods. Don't just fund legacy media / Beltway press -- start advertising on the platforms of podcasters that support the MAHA agenda to influence coverage of these issues.
-- Appropriations. They note that congressional voices can block RFK from implementing any of his policy goals by freezing funding for the FDA or HHS. Similar strategies were used previously to force regulators to count frozen pizza as a vegetable.
