Robert F. Kennedy Jr. strongly condemns the widespread use of processed foods in the American diet, highlighting their detrimental effects on health and urging a return to whole, natural foods.
As the former presidential candidate and environmental activist, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.), joins the Trump campaign, he has brought his powerful voice to the forefront of the ongoing health crisis in the United States. RFK Jr. has emphasized the alarming rise in obesity and chronic diseases, blaming decades of corrupted food policies and the prevalence of ultra-processed foods in the American diet.
RFK Jr. believes that the focus on cost and quantity over quality in food production has severely compromised the health of the nation. He asserts that ultra-processed and artificial foods inhibit bodily functions and promote harmful health conditions, while whole, natural foods provide essential nourishment and support.

"Humans evolved eating whole, natural foods for millions of years," RFK Jr. said. "You can't simply undo that deep biology in a couple of generations without seeing the harm it has caused."
In order to address this issue, he proposes updating Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to prioritize funding for healthy foods rather than processed junk. Additionally, RFK Jr. supports expanding farm-to-table programs in schools, providing children with nutritious meals sourced from local farmers.

To support farmers and reduce environmental degradation, RFK Jr. advocates for surplus crop programs to encourage donations to local food banks and the promotion of regenerative farming practices. These initiatives aim to restore soil health, reduce chemical use, and create sustainable food systems.
RFK Jr. highlights the role of Big Food in prioritizing profits over public health, calling for accountability through reforms in food and medicine approval and patenting systems. He also emphasizes the impact of food choices on the vulnerability to diseases like COVID-19, as chronic conditions related to unhealthy diets increase the susceptibility to severe illness.

"Our great American farmers know this Big Food fight, and they are under incredible pressure," RFK Jr. stated. "Farmers did better under President Trump than at any other time, thanks to his efforts to open new markets, use effective tariffs to force fair competition, and lower costs to make farming profitable again."
RFK Jr. believes that President Trump understands the importance of food production not only for its economic significance but also for its role in national security, well-being, and the preservation of American culture.
