Conservative ‘wish list’ of policies for a future Trump administration goes so far as transforming food and farming
When Project 2025 began making headlines this summer, it was largely for the ways the conservative “wish list” of policies for a future Trump administration would restructure the entire federal bureaucracy, deepen abortion restrictions and eliminate the Department of Education.
But the document – a proposed mandate for the next Republican president authored by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative thinktank – also outlines steps that would radically transform food and farming, curtailing recent progress to address the excess of ultra-processed foods in the United States. Among those: weakening the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), ending policies that consider the effects of climate change – and eliminating the US dietary guidelines.
“This is a deregulatory agenda,” said Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition and food policy at New York University. “And what we know historically from deregulation is that it’s really bad for consumers, it’s bad for workers, it’s bad for the environment.”
I love how a supervillain (without, you know, the intelligence or competence, and I don’t think shitting yourself and serial rape is a credible superpower) is going to take back control of the world after crashing it into the sun the first time, only because most people are too disengaged to care about who is in charge.
Coupled with some resentment at the left for, you know, lecturing them not to be complete assholes all the time.
Meanwhile the right just smiles while gently talking about the lovely camps the undesirables will be taken to, and how dissenters will be dealt with appropriately…
