RFK Jr. on fast food and his ‘Make America healthy again’ platform

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been confirmed by the Senate as the new Health and Human Services secretary, signaling potential changes in US health policies.

Kennedy prioritizes reducing the dominance of ultra-processed foods and eliminating harmful food additives and chemicals, particularly targeting artificial colors like Red Dye 40 and Yellow No. 5.

While he supports consumer freedom and won’t outright ban specific foods, Kennedy promises “radical transparency” to better inform the public about food ingredients and their health effects.
