Robert F. Kennedy Jr., set to become Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Donald Trump, plans to overhaul U.S. food policies to "Make America Healthy Again." Targeting ultra-processed foods, pesticides, and additives he says are poisoning Americans, Kennedy is committed to making fast food healthy again. He expressed enthusiasm about eating McDonald's once more, calling to "bring back tallow," referring to the beef fat previously used in cooking the chain's fries. Kennedy was seen joining Trump on Trump Force One, consuming McDonald's meals, signaling a potential shift in the administration's approach to national food standards.
