In a rally in Arizona, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined President Donald Trump in blasting the food industry for contributing to the deteriorating health of American children. Kennedy, who recently ended his presidential campaign to endorse Trump, didn’t mince words: “Our children are now the unhealthiest, sickest children in the world.”
Kennedy’s fiery speech centered on the idea that corporate-controlled regulatory agencies are failing to protect public health. He argued that companies producing processed foods and harmful chemicals have corrupted institutions like the FDA, leading to widespread health problems among America’s youth. Kennedy tied the prevalence of chronic diseases such as obesity, autoimmune disorders, and cancer directly to the influence of “big food” companies.
In response, Trump announced that if reelected, he would establish a panel of experts to work alongside Kennedy in investigating what is driving these alarming trends. The initiative would aim to expose the underlying causes and push for reforms in the food and health sectors to safeguard the well-being of future generations.
Kennedy’s alignment with Trump has surprised many, but the partnership is rooted in their shared belief that corporate greed is harming Americans. Together, they hope to challenge the establishment by demanding greater accountability from the food industry and advocating for healthier standards that prioritize the needs of children.
