During a rally in Arizona, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined President Donald Trump in targeting the food industry, accusing it of contributing to the declining health of American children. Kennedy, who recently suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, delivered a stark message: “Our children are now the unhealthiest, sickest children in the world.”
Kennedy’s criticism focused on what he described as corporate corruption within regulatory agencies. He argued that the FDA and similar bodies are more interested in serving “big food” companies than protecting the public. Kennedy warned that the chemicals in processed foods are a major factor in the nation’s health crisis, with rising rates of chronic diseases like obesity and cancer.
Trump echoed these concerns, promising to establish a panel of experts to investigate the root causes of health problems like autoimmune disorders, obesity, and infertility. The panel would work closely with Kennedy to address these issues and push for reforms in food production.
Kennedy’s alignment with Trump has brought renewed attention to his longstanding campaign against corporate influence in government. By joining forces, the two leaders are signaling a commitment to exposing the ways in which corporate greed may be harming America’s children. As Kennedy put it, the goal is clear: to create a country where every child has the chance to “grow up and live a long and healthy life.”
