“I would welcome DOGE to be involved.” Agriculture Sec Rollins on cutting costs in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and that she will work with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to figure out healthy options in the program.

Rollins and Kennedy were both confirmed by the Senate on 2/13/2025 and will serve on President Trump’s new 13-member Make America Healthy Again commission.

The newly appointed cabinet official said she will work with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — to prioritize food-stamp benefits for healthy food items.

“Will we ever take food out of a hungry child’s mouth? Of course not, this is the United States of America, Rollins told reporters on the White House driveway.

“Truly, this program has grown so large, especially in the last administration. Under Biden, I think [the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] grew almost 30% more than before. We really need to look at where that money is going, what it’s being spent on,” she said.

“I look forward to working with Bobby Kennedy as we figure out, ‘Do we have the healthiest choices?’ So when a taxpayer is putting money into SNAP, are we OK with us using their tax dollars to feed really bad food and sugary drinks to children who perhaps need something more nutritious?”
