Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary, has been outspoken about reshaping America’s diet, saying in a video that Trump has promised him “control of the public health agencies.”
“We’ve got to get off of seed oils and we’ve got to get off of pesticide-intense agriculture,” said Kennedy in the video.
Kennedy’s remarks are raising concern among agricultural experts, including Callie Eideberg, principal at the Vogel Group, who notes that about two-thirds of the U.S. soybean market goes into food, meaning any shift away from seed oils could hit Illinois farmers hard.
“We haven’t seen the federal government take any legal or regulatory steps to remove soybean oil or other seed oils from the food system,” Eideberg said. “That could change, but without a legal mandate, it’s unlikely many companies will voluntarily reformulate their products—it’s simply too costly. For now, the real impact on farmers’ bottom lines remains to be seen.”
Eideberg noted producers should start paying attention as food trends and policy debates converge.
Eideberg was asked whether Illinois soybean farmers might need to adapt their operations, or even switch to a different crop, to respond to changing consumer trends and potential regulatory pressures.
“I know there are folks at the Illinois Soybean Association and across the country who are always thinking about new market development,” Eideberg said. “Whether that’s finding a place to sell soybeans overseas for animal feed or human consumption, or creating innovative products, experts are figuring that out every day. Soy is everywhere – even in car seats – but there’s still a lot more that can be done to expand alternative uses beyond the consumer market.”
For now, she said trade policy remains the bigger problem. Eideberg said the “lack of markets overseas” tied to ongoing trade wars is having “the biggest impact right now on the bottom line for soybean producers.”
Illinois recently banned certain food dyes, a MAHA-related move. Eideberg warns that if states target soybean oil next, it could create a patchwork of rules that would be challenging for both farmers and food producers.
“Individual states are making these MAHA-related decisions on their own,” she said. “When the federal government tried to remove certain food dyes from our system, it wasn’t a legal mandate, it was more of a strong-arm effort by Secretary Kennedy. Companies complied because those products weren’t widely used. Soybean oil is very different; it’s in nearly everything consumers buy, so removing it would be a massive, costly undertaking.”
The bigger issue, Eideberg said, is what happens when individual states start passing their own MAHA-related laws.
“That becomes a nightmare for companies who are trying to sell their products in all 50 states but potentially need 50 different formulations for those products,” she said.
To counter this, a coalition of food companies in Washington D.C. has formed to push for federal preemption, where the federal government asserts sole authority over food regulation, preventing states from setting conflicting rules.
“There’s a lot of money behind this effort,” Eideberg said. “It’s just getting started, and it’s going to take a little while. But this could be a way to make federal law the standard, so states no longer have the authority to act independently.”

Farmers, Biologist, Scientist and Researchers have known for quite some time that Seed Oils were under a microscope for the possible issues they cause. Farmers will now have to look for alternative crops to plant. When you place all your seeds in one basket and it catches fire you better have had already made alternative plans.
I think a lot more research needs to be done before we ban seed oils. If you search out what products seed oils are part of, at first look, it appears seed oil is used in almost everything except raw meat and vegetables. I suspect at least some of the problems associated with the oils is caused by over consumption of some products or personal eating habits.
The seed oil industry is more than some farmers growing a crop. It includes transportation, processing and warehousing of the oil products that is the livelihood of thousands of Americans. And seed oil came into use because it is better and less costly than what was used before.
I’m retired, but had dairy, beef, and horses. My knowledge of the crop industry is limited to the use as animal feed. But I am an 80 years old man and have seen many changes, I grew up eating food fried with lard, or using real butter, milk, cream, and beef usually twice a day. As a dairyman I used Roundup, fertilizers, and some pesticides. And I’m still here in good health. Most of my older family were heavy smokers, but lived into their 80s and 90s. We had NO cancer.
