Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been appointed the new Health and Human Services secretary after being confirmed by the Senate. This new position will certainly bring a number of changes.
In his speeches, JFK Jr. has highlighted that nutrition is the key element of health. With that said, his priorities are the reduction of “the dominance of ultra-processed foods” and the removal of “food additives and chemicals.”
Many of the food additives, largely used in many foods, could soon be examined and even banned, many believe. The new Health and Human Services secretary is especially vocal about artificial colors such as Red Dye 40 and Yellow No. 5 and their usage in the US food supply.
