Robert F. Kennedy Jr. views the agribusiness operations in Decatur, Illinois, as a source of obesity and chronic illness in America, blaming products such as high-fructose corn syrup.
For the workers in Decatur, the local wet mills are crucial to their livelihoods; the plants provide essential jobs in a region where they feel their economy relies heavily on these industries.
The tension between health advocacy and local economic dependency is palpable, as workers fear the impact that any anti-corn syrup measures from officials could have on their community.
Kennedy's critique of agribusiness, especially targeting corn syrup production in Decatur, creates significant local concern, juxtaposing health issues against the economic stability these mills provide.
