‘Not Doing Their Job’: RFK Jr. Says ‘Entire Departments’ At FDA Could Get The Ax

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday that “entire departments” of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fail to protect kids and that those departments could be cut.

Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign Aug. 23 and endorsed former President and now President-elect Donald Trump. Kennedy said he would target parts of the FDA that fail to protect the public.

“In some categories… entire departments, like the nutrition department of the FDA that have to go, that are not doing their job, they’re not protecting our kids,” Kennedy told a MSNBC reporter. “Why do we have Fruit Loops that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it’s got two or three?”

The MSNBC reporter asked Kennedy, who has a law degree from the University of Virginia and a master’s degree in environmental law from Pace University School of Law, if he would eliminate any federal agencies.

“To eliminate agencies, as long as it requires Congressional approval, I wouldn’t be doing that,” Kennedy said. “I can get the corruption out of the agencies, that’s what I’ve been doing for 40 years. I’ve sued all those agencies, I have a Ph.D. in corporate corruption and that’s what I do, and once they’re not corrupt, once Americans are getting good science and are allowed to make their own choices, they’re going to get a lot healthier.”

Kennedy has sought to address a rising chronic disease rate that affects roughly three in five Americans as part of a Make America Healthy Again movement, which has been known as MAHA.

“As we secure our borders and rebuild our economy, we are also going to Make America Healthy Again,” Trump said at an Oct. 23 campaign event alongside Kennedy. “We have more chronic health problems than any nation, more childhood diseases than we did just a generation ago. Millions of Americans are realizing that something is wrong.”
