Democrats should join RFK Jr. in the fight to Make America Healthy Again.
Yes, I know, I know: RFK Jr. has some very troubling opinions, controversial views, a complicated past, and no shortage of detractors. But he didn’t get nominated to be the Pope. He got nominated to help us get healthy, and he is passionate about it. And we should absolutely challenge him on any policies not grounded in science or data. But on food system reform, he’s right.
We have a rare chance to fix a system that is literally killing us. We are a sick country, and a sick country cannot maintain long-term prosperity. Kennedy is passionate about this issue, and he’s willing to take on the entrenched interests that have perpetuated this broken system for decades.
Democrats should join him in this fight.
