RFK Jr.'s Vow to Take On Big Food Could Face Resistance
Published On Nov 15, 2024, 11:53 AM
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pushing for significant changes in food regulation, particularly targeting processed foods and artificial dyes, as he prepares to lead the Department of Health and Human Services under President-elect Donald Trump. His focus on reducing processed foods aligns with a growing demand for healthier options, but it also presents challenges for Big Food, an industry that may resist such changes due to potential impacts on costs and sales. Kennedy's take on food regulation could create tensions with the traditional Republican support base.
