Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary, promised Wednesday that if confirmed he will ensure tax dollars will support health foods and scrutinize chemical additives in the food supply.
Kennedy made the remarks during his opening statement before the United States Senate Committee On Finance, detailing how he became involved with the issue of health.
“My journey into the issue of health began with my career as an environmental attorney working with hunters and fishermen and mothers in the small town in the Hudson Valley and along the Hudson River,” he said. “I learned very early on that human health and environmental injuries are intertwined. The same chemicals that kill fish make people sick also.”
Kennedy laid out the sad state of affairs, noting that overall American health today is “in grievous condition.”
Hopefully, that means food stamps / EBT cards will become a more WIC-like program.
No more fast-food joints or crabs, shrimp, steak, etc!
