Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has proposed sweeping changes to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if Donald Trump is re-elected as president.
Kennedy, a vocal Trump supporter, suggested eliminating certain FDA departments for “corruption.” He specifically mentioned the nutrition department, which he believes is not protecting children from unhealthy foods.
However, Kennedy expressed hesitation about eliminating entire agencies like the FDA, recognizing the need for congressional approval. Instead, he emphasized removing corruption and ensuring agencies provide reliable scientific information to the public.
Kennedy’s comments come after he endorsed Trump as an independent presidential candidate and hinted at a potential role in the White House. He previously advocated for removing fluoride from drinking water, claiming it is associated with various health risks.
