After years of the American people being treated like lab rats by Big Food corporations, President Trump's FDA is finally taking action against toxic chemical preservatives that have no business being in our food supply.
The agency announced Tuesday it will review BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), a preservative commonly found in processed foods that's also used in rubber and plastic manufacturing. Let that sink in, Patriots – the same chemical used to make your car tires has been quietly added to food products Americans consume every day.
This is exactly the kind of swamp-draining action we voted for. While previous administrations sat on their hands and let corporate cronies poison our families, Trump's team is putting America First by bringing our food standards in line with Europe, where many of these toxic additives have been banned for years.
"The American people deserve to know what's really in their food, and they deserve better than being treated as guinea pigs for chemical experiments," said one food safety advocate.
It's no coincidence this announcement comes just weeks into Trump's second term. The President promised to take on Big Pharma and corporate corruption, and this FDA action shows he's not just talking – he's delivering results.
For too long, the administrative state has been captured by the very industries it's supposed to regulate. Chemical companies and food giants have had free rein to pump our food full of preservatives, artificial colors, and synthetic additives that would make a chemist blush.
Meanwhile, European countries have maintained much stricter standards, effectively treating American food exports like toxic waste. It's embarrassing that it took this long for our own government to protect American families with the same vigor other nations show their citizens.
The Deep State's Food Safety Cover-Up
This move also exposes decades of regulatory capture under previous administrations. How many government officials turned a blind eye to these chemicals while planning their next lucrative private sector jobs with the very companies they were supposed to oversee?
The American people are waking up to the reality that our food system has been compromised by corporate interests more concerned with shelf life and profits than human health. President Trump's FDA is finally putting families before Big Food's bottom line.
It's time to ask the hard question: what other toxic substances are hiding in our food supply, and how long will it take to root them all out?
