Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s potential nomination as head of HHS may bridge partisan divides through his critique of ultra-processed foods and harmful dietary practices, areas where bipartisan support is evident.
Kennedy's involvement in setting the Dietary Guidelines for Americans could fundamentally influence public health messaging and inform significant federal food policies, impacting both nutrition standards and food safety regulations.
Jerold Mande highlights a unifying bipartisan concern over ultra-processed foods, suggesting Kennedy's expertise could lead to meaningful dialogue around nutrition standards and improve the nation's food supply.
Mande describes the periodic updates of the Dietary Guidelines as a 'political process' that varies with each administration, emphasizing the critical timing Kennedy may have to effect substantive change.
