During a joint rally with President Donald Trump in Arizona, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took direct aim at the food industry, warning that American children are suffering the consequences of corporate greed. Kennedy, who recently suspended his presidential campaign to endorse Trump, emphasized the severity of the problem: “Our children are now the unhealthiest, sickest children in the world.”
Kennedy’s remarks highlighted the dangers posed by processed foods and the chemicals they contain, which he argued are contributing to rising rates of chronic illness. He accused regulatory agencies like the FDA of being “run by the big food processing companies, the big ag, and the chemical companies that they’re supposed to regulate,” making them complicit in the health crisis.
Trump expressed strong support for Kennedy’s stance, announcing that he would create a panel of experts to investigate the causes behind the increasing prevalence of health issues like obesity and infertility. The goal, according to Trump, is to ensure that “every child in America can grow up and live a long and healthy life.”
Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump and their shared focus on health reform have captured the attention of voters disillusioned with the current system. Their partnership represents a rare coalition of voices demanding greater transparency and accountability from both government and industry in the fight to improve public health standards for America’s children.
