Robert Kennedy Jr., the nominee for Health Secretary under President Trump, has promised that he won’t come after anyone’s Big Macs or Twinkies if confirmed. Yet, his call for research on the relationship between food additives and chronic diseases seems to imply a close link between dietary habits and health issues. However, his controversial stance against vaccines and fluoridated water, as well as his support for raw milk, raises questions about his professional competence. His niece, Caroline Kennedy, even publicly accused him of being a ‘predator,’ leading relatives down a ‘path of drug addiction.’ Despite these controversies, he can only lose three Republican votes in the full Senate, and some Republicans have yet to make their intentions clear, leaving one to wonder if he can secure the position of Health Secretary amidst the challenges.
