Robert F. Kennedy Jr., newly appointed Health and Human Services Secretary, criticizes the fast-food industry, labeling it as unhealthy, particularly highlighting President Trump’s diet. Despite these criticisms, the fast-food sector shows resilience, with major chains like Wendy's and Yum Brands experiencing sales growth. The MAHA movement, advocating healthier choices, faces challenges as affordability continues to dominate consumer decisions, evidenced by sales reports from various fast-food giants in the latest quarter.
Just poison, was how Kennedy described President Donald Trump's diet preferences. The American people may have voted to Make America Healthy Again at the ballot box.
The MAHA movement's long list of criticisms of the fast-food industry range from the reasonable... to the much more disputable, such as claiming that vegetable oils... are unhealthy.
Wendy's share price popped nearly 4% Thursday on an earnings beat, with same-store sales in the US growing 4.1% in the fourth quarter.
McDonald's on Monday reported something of a mixed bag, with US sales down due to an E. coli outbreak... despite its value menu deals pulling in higher traffic.
