Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said he will clear out “entire departments” of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if given a place in Donald Trump’s administration, as the former president has repeatedly promised.
“In some categories, there are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA that are – that have to go, that are not doing their job, they’re not protecting our kids,” Kennedy said during a Wednesday morning interview on MSNBC.
The FDA, the U.S. federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is responsible for ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of drugs, biological products, medical devices, food and cosmetics.
RFK Jr. is an outspoken opponent of Big Pharma and Big Food, and has at various times attributed the source of America’s health problems to insufficient regulation of pesticides, harmful additives, seed oils, processed foods, and vaccines.
