After Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s nomination to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Dr. Marc Siegel speaks about RFK's plans to fight ultraprocessed foods.
Since President-elect Donald Trump tapped Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services last week, there has been a heightened focus on Kennedy’s initiative to 'Make America Healthy Again' . One of Kennedy’s widely reported goals has been to reduce kids’ 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.
Democrats and Republicans alike have pushed for banning food dyes, the doctor noted, but the food industry and food lobbyists have fought back. 'There's a concern here that if this ends up with more regulations, that will drive prices up — and food grocery store prices are already a problem,' Siegel added. In terms of ultraprocessed foods, Siegel said he agrees with Kennedy’s claims that kids are 'swimming in a toxic soup.
