Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be secretary of Health and Human Services, may be best known for his anti-vaccination sentiments, but his plans for America have a lot to do with transforming the food system.
In Trump’s first speech since election night, on Thursday night at Mar-a-Lago, he said Kennedy would “help make America healthy again” and would protect Americans from “harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products and food additives.”
Kennedy on toxic chemicals from food
One of Kennedy’s focuses is toxic chemicals in the environment, particularly from pesticides and fertilizers used in farming.
“Pesticides, food additives, pharmaceutical drugs and toxic waste permeate every cell in our bodies,” Kennedy said during Republican Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson‘s American Health Crisis Roundtable in September.
“This assault on our children’s cells and hormones is unrelenting. They are swimming around in a toxic soup….We are mass poisoning all of our children and all of our adults.”
