RFK Jr. launches initiative to reform health policies and challenge big food and pharma

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, promoting his "Make America Healthy Again" initiative. This movement targets big food and big pharma, aiming to address chronic diseases and reduce health care costs. Kennedy's agenda includes overhauling dietary guidelines, reforming food assistance programs, and restricting harmful food additives. His coalition spans both political sides, uniting those frustrated with the current health system and seeking significant reforms. However, experts express concern about Kennedy's history with vaccines and the potential challenges of implementing his plans in a Republican-controlled government. Many question whether his ambitious goals can be achieved amid existing industry interests and regulatory resistance.
