President-elect Donald Trump has announced nominations for the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), which runs several nutrition programs, as well as the FDA commissioner and director of the National Institutes of Health. The selected candidates, yet to be confirmed by the Senate, are set to overhaul health and nutrition in the country. He nominated Brooke Rollins, CEO and president of the conservative America First Policy Institute, to lead the USDA. If confirmed, Rollins will oversee the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the nation’s largest anti-hunger initiative, which supports over 41 million US citizens.
