“There’s going to be pushback,” said Donald Trump Jr. after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was tapped as his choice for Secretary of Health and Human Services. “There’s going to be a lot of money spent. It will all be artificial, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have to deal with it because that’s how Washington, DC works.”
The president’s son was referring to the massive lobbying effort, in which “Big Pharma is going to spend money like you wouldn’t believe,” to prevent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from becoming Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services.
The effects of the pharmaceutical industry’s well-funded campaign were already apparent from the tone of last week’s confirmation hearings. The objective is clear: peel away just enough Republican senators to keep Kennedy from taking control at HHS and implementing a Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda that represents an existential threat to the health establishment status quo.
Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Ag and their lobbyists on K Street are dead set on preserving that lucrative status quo at all costs. It is a measure of President Trump’s bold audacity this time around that he gives less consideration to offending Big Pharma and the ire of their lobbyists than he does to the intensity of his own voters’ desire for sweeping reforms. Not only would RFK Jr. potentially slam shut the revolving-door capture of government agencies by the very industries they ostensibly regulate, but he also knows where the bodies are buried. The potential exposure of the corrupt process by which “science” has been invoked as a magic mantra to undermine public health in the name of protecting it is rightly regarded by the existing players as a catastrophic threat.
The Senate GOP presents K Street with a target-rich environment. The pharmaceutical and health-device manufacturing industries alone have spent upwards of $400 million in just the year 2024 lobbying Congress (about twice as much as a decade ago), and industry contributions to individual Republican Senators will likely exceed $5 million in this cycle. A recent analysis from The National Pulse showed Senators on the Finance Committee, which will first assess the Kennedy nomination, received more than $6.7 million in contributions from Big Pharma between 2019 and 2024, with the majority going to committee Republicans. And, as Kennedy pointed out, Democratic Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were among the top lifetime recipients of Big Pharma money on the other side of the aisle. In applying the screws to deny Kennedy’s confirmation, those industries—as well as Big Food and Big Agra—will be wanting to cash in their chips and get a return on their long-term investment. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
