The Trump administration, several actions raised concerns about the prioritization of public health and safety. The FDA reportedly suspended food safety assurance programs for Grade “A” milk and some vegetables, while the Department of Agriculture eliminated committees advising on food safety policy. Staff reductions at the FDA, including those involved in food and drug inspections.
These actions appear to conflict with public sentiment. A recent Civiqs poll revealed that 84% of registered voters oppose the FDA ending routine food safety inspections, with 67% strongly opposed.
We must ask why make food less safe? It’s clear that the Trump Administration does not care. All they care about is cutting as much of the federal government as possible to fund their tax cuts for billionaires and large corporations.
So you see, Trump places his priorities for America squarely on the altar of money, not on us, the people!
