Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is poised to lead the Department of Health and Human Services if confirmed, has vowed to Make America Health y Again. Fox News Digital asked Americans across the country what it would take to accomplish that goal. 'Complete overhaul,' Theresa said in Houston, Texas. 'It's all about moderation. Eat, drink, sleep, exercise.' Health outcomes in the U.S. are worse in several metrics than in other developed nations.
And despite stagnating rates of general obesity, rates of severe obesity (defined as a BMI of 40 or greater) have continued to climb, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many Americans Fox News Digital spoke with suggested the country's health could be improved with more exercise and better quality food. Some wanted government intervention to achieve health goals. 'We need to start looking at basics like the types of oils that we allow in our stores and in our foods,' Angie from Knoxville, Tennessee, said. Kennedy, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for HHS chief, is already setting his sights on Big Food and Big Pharma. One of Kennedy's goals is reducing children's consumption of ultraprocessed foods. 'We have a generation of kids who are swimming around in a toxic soup right now,' Kennedy previously told Fox News. 'We’re letting these industries corrupt our agencies and mass poison them.' He has proposed removing artificial dyes from food – with a specific jab at the popular Froot Loops cereal – as well as 'clearing out' entire departments within the Food and Drug Administration for 'corruption.' Kennedy also supports limiting consumption of grains, sugar and seed oils
