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.”

Yup. The vast majority have the probably the best access on the planet to healthy, inexpensive, and diverse healthy food.

So again, fix the food dessert. Not this bullshit to let fat people push the blame about how they cant put down chips and pick up a carrot.

I wants someone to tell me one single thing in Project 2025 that would actually improve lives for the average American.

Just one single thing.

If Project 2025 was promoted by a villain faction in fiction it would be dismissed as unrealistic.

"Surely they don't want to undo every single positive aspect of society, that would be ridiculous."

Seriously. It’s like a generic thriller that wouldn’t sell outside of airports because the trope is so apparent and absurd.

Like the US military at first contact. Which is exactly what these dick waggers would do.

Edit: or that some beefcake AmeriChad will deus ex machina the world from climate change with swagger, which seems to be exactly what they think.

with swagger

So, Eric Adams?

The human stock must remain fat and uneducated, they are more docile that way

Honestly I don't think it's that complicated.

Regulations are not profitable. That's it.

The human stock

I believe you mean lamb arminstan.

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...

What do they say about the FDA?
