RFK Jr. Promotes Ultraprocessed Meals for “Health”: A Questionable Proposition
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently praised Mom’s Meals, a company delivering taxpayer-funded meals to Medicaid and Medicare enrollees, even though these meals contain numerous ultraprocessed food additives. An Associated Press review reveals the meals, such as chicken bacon ranch pasta, are high in sodium, sugar, or saturated fats and include ingredients that are not easily replicated at home. Nutritionists argue these meals are the type of processed foods that Kennedy routinely criticizes, despite the company’s claims of not including synthetic food dyes or high fructose corn syrup. This comes as the Health Secretary advocates for healthier diets as part of his “Make America Healthy Again” initiative.
