Adler’s rise to fame came after a viral video of her preparing a “paleo-friendly” Thanksgiving feast garnered millions of views on social media. She has since amassed a large following of like-minded individuals who believe in the healing power of whole foods and natural remedies. Some of her supporters have suggested that she would be a perfect fit for a position in the Department of Agriculture or as a food policy advisor in the White House.
Another unexpected nominee is Kyleigh Smith, a former reality TV star turned wellness guru. Smith rose to fame on a popular reality show before launching her own line of supplements and skincare products. She has built a loyal following of fans who swear by her products for everything from weight loss to anti-aging.
Smith’s nomination on the MAHA portal has sparked debate among users, with some questioning her qualifications for a government position. However, her supporters argue that her business acumen and experience in the wellness industry make her a valuable asset to any health-related agency.
As the nominations continue to pour in, it remains to be seen who will ultimately fill the thousands of positions within the Trump administration. With Kennedy and his allies at the helm of the selection process, it’s clear that the future of America’s health-related agencies could look very different in the coming years.
For now, the “Nominees for the People” portal remains open for submissions, giving ordinary citizens a chance to weigh in on the selection process and potentially shape the future of the nation’s health policies. Only time will tell who will rise to the top and help steer the course of healthcare in the United States under the Trump administration.
Nearly 700 people had voted online for Adler to be appointed to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as of Friday afternoon. This shows a strong support for Adler within the online community.
On the other hand, if Kennedy’s supporters could choose the new leadership for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it seems that Zen Honeycutt would be their top choice. Nearly 900 users had upvoted her nomination as of Friday. Honeycutt, who is the founding executive director of the nonprofit Moms Across America, focuses on environmental toxins and was successful in getting Costco to stop selling the weed-killer Roundup. This is particularly significant as Kennedy has worked as a lawyer on cases against RoundUp maker Monsanto.
Honeycutt advocates for using specific diets to treat conditions such as food allergies, autism symptoms, and asthma. She has also been featured in videos by the Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group founded by Kennedy.
In addition to Honeycutt, another interesting contender is Joel Salatin, who claims to have been offered a position as an adviser in the Department of Agriculture. Salatin describes himself as a “Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer” and his unconventional farming methods have gained popularity in online wellness circles. Kennedy has emphasized the importance of investing in regenerative agriculture and supporting small organic farmers.
In a blog post discussing the supposed job offer, Salatin criticized various entities including income taxes, Big Agriculture, federal involvement in education, government lobbyists, and public health officials. He expressed a desire to challenge the status quo and make significant changes in the nation.
This selection process for key positions in various departments reflects a shift towards individuals who prioritize environmental health, organic farming, and alternative healthcare approaches. It will be interesting to see how these potential appointees will impact the respective agencies and their policies moving forward.
