MAGA hated Michelle Obama's healthy food agenda — here's why they changed their tune under RFK Jr.
SalonLet's get one thing out of the way: Robert F. Kennedy's claim that he wants to "make America healthy again" is, like most things he says, a flat-out lie. Donald Trump's nominee to run Health and Human Services is a conspiracy theorist who opposes not just vaccines but science-based medicine generally, promoting a bunch of "alternatives" that are often actively bad for people. During a Senate hearing with the Food and Drug Administration commissioner earlier this month, ranking member Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., laughably claimed that "promoting healthy foods is a top priority" for the incoming Trump administration, throwing in Kennedy's "make America healthy again" slogan, as a boot-licking flourish to his opening remarks. Much of what gets marketed as "wellness," by Kennedy and other grifters, is actively bad for people's health.
