I do think it was only a PR move to put up front as a moderate to influence Daddy Trump

Ivanka Trumps advocacy for healthy, pesticide-free food apparently extends only to her own children

Ivanka should advocate for all of America's children, not just her own
In the backyard of the White House, in a 2,800-square-foot plot, the organic garden Michelle Obama started as first lady still thrives. Donald Trump must be unaware of the gardens existence, or he would have already sold it off to the highest corporate bidder, just as hes done with Americas future, and so much of our land and water.
While Donald might not have high regard for organic farming, his daughter Ivanka recognizes the benefits and has spoken frequently about feeding her children organic food. Her lifestyle website espouses the health benefits of pesticide-free, organic food.
No one begrudges Ivanka Trump her choice to feed her children healthy, clean food. Every parent deserves the opportunity to make healthy choices for their children. But you cant have it both ways without becoming Marie Antoinette. With every decision and rollback, her father and the entire administration are eliminating those choices for American families.
Where was Ivanka when the Trump administration gutted protections for clean air and water? What did she say when Trumps EPA administrator halted the ban of chlorpyrifos, a pesticide thats been shown to harm kids brains? Where was she when the USDA rolled back nutrition standards for school lunches?
It seems Ivankas advocacy for healthy food, free of toxic chemicals, extends only to her own children. While she has tried to brand herself as the moderate voice in the Trump administration, this now appears to be a PR move simply to soften its image. We have seen no evidence of Ivankas advocacy, or of her ability to pull Trump back from his most destructive decisions. She is not there to rein in her father, but rather to put on a smiling face.........................

Healthy, pesticide-free food and lead-free water are only for the children of people who can afford to purchase it. The children of people who cannot did something to deserve it, obviously.

(82,849 posts)If you ask where Ivanka is on these important issues, you suddenly find out that she's just an unpaid little worker bee in the White House, far removed from any policy enactment. No responsibility for anything, hardly even has a voice. Certainly in no position to influence anyone, especially not the President.
