MAHA: The Work Ahead
Reclaiming our food, restoring our health—one rancher, one handshake, one ribeye at a time.
The journey to today’s MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement has been long, but every step was essential. For us at The Beef Initiative, it began with a pivotal moment—The Harvest of Deception—where we exposed the truths about our food system, challenging the forces that have distanced us from honest, local food sources. This journey has been about more than just beef; it’s about reclaiming our health, our sovereignty, and our future. Over the years, every contribution, every conversation, and every step forward has culminated in a moment where hope for our nation feels palpable once again.
As we look to a reinvigorated America under a new President Trump, we see a nation poised to embrace a more decentralized, community-driven food model that values health and integrity over profit. This movement, embodied by MAHA and supported by partners like Dr. Ken Berry and Golden Ratio Beef, is setting the foundation for a new era where doctors, ranchers, and citizens are united in purpose.

In our latest piece, we examine the stark contrast between the decades-old Beef Checkoff Program and the grassroots alternative provided by the I Am Texas Slim Foundation. Where the Beef Checkoff has often fallen short, promoting imported beef and working against independent ranchers, the I Am Texas Slim Foundation has stepped in to provide genuine support. By funding disaster relief, community initiatives, and educational programs, the Foundation is offering a real pathway to food sovereignty and rancher independence.

This is a story about resilience, about breaking the chains of the Medical-Pharmaceutical-Agricultural Complex, and about reconnecting to the land.
For those who want to go deeper into what drives this movement, Slim’s story offers both a cautionary tale and an invitation to join him on the road to food sovereignty and personal freedom. Read more
