Farming Mom's Surprise: Why RFK Jr. Has Her Excited

Tue Jan 28 2025
In the heart of Texas, Anna Gleaton runs a small farm with her husband. They have nine kids, ages 2 to 16, and she homeschools them all. Being a conservative Christian, Anna voted for Donald Trump multiple times. But this time, she wasn't sure if he'd focus on her main concerns: soil and water contamination, factory farming, and corporate lobbying. Then came the news: Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. This got Anna excited. She feels that her world, which often seems separate, is now in the mainstream. Anna is part of a growing group who question not just schools but also big agriculture and pharmaceutical companies, once seen as progressive. RFK Jr. has been speaking about these issues for years, warning about processed foods and additives, and questioning water fluoridation.
