During a rally in Arizona, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined President Donald Trump to warn about the declining health of America’s children, placing the blame on the food industry. “Our children are now the unhealthiest, sickest children in the world,” Kennedy said, echoing a message he has delivered repeatedly as part of his campaign against “big food” companies.
Kennedy argues that processed foods packed with harmful chemicals are making children sick, while federal agencies like the FDA are failing to take action. According to Kennedy, these agencies are too closely aligned with the corporations they’re supposed to regulate, leading to a public health crisis marked by rising rates of chronic illness.
Trump agreed with Kennedy’s assessment and announced that if reelected, he would form a panel of experts to work alongside Kennedy in investigating these health issues. The focus would be on uncovering the connection between food additives and conditions like obesity, autoimmune disorders, and cancer.
Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump highlights their mutual belief that both political and corporate elites are failing to protect the public. Their message resonates with voters who feel left behind by a system that prioritizes profits over the health of the next generation. Together, they are calling for a sweeping reform of the food industry to ensure that children can grow up healthy and free from preventable diseases.
