I hope this becomes true.
Around here if you don't farm 500-1000 acres you are barely getting by. We have a commodity farming culture. Soybeans and Corn. Alternating field rotation. Almost no produce like tomatoes, peppers, carrots, green beans, etc. Just corn and soy. Nothing wrong with corn and soy, but hard to survive as a family farm on those unless you have lots of land and minimal mortgage.
I used to travel a lot more than I do now. Internationally. The UK has a lot of farm to table foods. Minimal processing. Maximum freshness. Ditto with Spain. The US is full of manufactured food-like products, obesity and Type 2 diabetes. I believe there is a connection. As nations become more prosperous they eat more manufactured food-like products and higher percentages of their population become chronically ill.

MAHA's Nicole Shanahan Shares Vision To Make Small Farms Great Again
Update:
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be Secretary of Health and Human Services.

As President-elect Donald Trump selects Cabinet appointees for his second term, attention has turned to where Robert F. Kennedy Jr., leader of the "Make America Healthy Again" movement, might be placed—potentially in agencies overseeing food or health policies.
In the days before the presidential election, RFK Jr. published a short video on X indicating that when Trump "gets me inside" the United States Department of Agriculture, "we're going to give farmers an off-ramp from the current system that destroys soil, makes people sick, and harms family farms."
In other words, RFK Jr. and the MAHA team will ensure that small farms are made great again by directing policies to focus on traditional agriculture.
