In August 2024, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign to support Donald Trump, promising to fight for America's health. His criticism of processed foods became central to Trump's campaign, leading to Kennedy's nomination as secretary of health and human services. However, the nomination of Susie Wiles, a lobbyist for food companies, presents stark contrasts within Trump's inner circle. Analysts warn that food policies may prioritize industry deregulation over public health, raising concerns about misinformation and the impact on consumer wellbeing during Trump's next term.
Kennedy's nomination alongside Wiles, a lobbyist for food companies, highlights stark contradictions in Trump's cabinet that raise questions about food policy priorities.
