Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now an independent presidential candidate, took the stage alongside President Donald Trump in Arizona to voice his concerns about the health of American children. Kennedy, who recently endorsed Trump after suspending his campaign, delivered a stark warning: “Our children are now the unhealthiest, sickest children in the world.”
Kennedy’s remarks focused on the powerful influence of the food industry, which he claims is driving the nation’s health crisis. He argued that regulatory agencies like the FDA have been captured by the very corporations they are supposed to regulate, leading to the proliferation of unhealthy processed foods loaded with harmful chemicals. According to Kennedy, this corporate influence is making children sicker while regulators turn a blind eye.
President Trump responded to Kennedy’s message by pledging to form a panel of experts to investigate the rise in health problems such as obesity, autoimmune disorders, and infertility. The panel would collaborate with Kennedy to uncover the root causes of these issues and propose solutions to improve public health.
Kennedy’s shift from Democrat to independent, combined with his support for Trump, reflects his determination to challenge corporate interests in Washington. His alliance with Trump has energized a growing number of voters who believe that both political and corporate elites are failing America’s children by prioritizing profits over public health.
