RFK Jr. vs. the Food Industry: Why Real Food Might Finally Win

The food war isn’t coming—it’s already here. And Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is stepping onto the battlefield with something the processed food giants haven’t seen in decades: a federal agenda to clean up America’s broken food system.

At the core of his mission? A radical return to truth:

“Food should be the prescription.”

🧪 What RFK Jr. Is Doing

In a landmark Senate hearing on May 14, 2025, Health Secretary Kennedy announced that the NIH and FDA will prioritize the study and regulation of:

• Ultra-processed foods
• Artificial sweeteners
• Over 10,000 food additives currently on the market

These efforts are part of the new Nutrition Regulatory Science Program, which will examine the role of food additives in chronic diseases, hormone disruption, and long-term metabolic dysfunction.

🚫 What’s On the Chopping Block?

Some of the key ingredients RFK Jr. is targeting include:

• Artificial Food Dyes – Red 3, Yellow 5, Blue 1 (linked to behavioral issues)
• Potassium Bromate – bread additive linked to cancer
• BVO (Brominated Vegetable Oil) – found in some sodas, banned in other countries
• Propylparaben – suspected hormone disruptor
• BHA/BHT – synthetic preservatives with carcinogenic concerns
• PFAS – “forever chemicals” in food packaging with long-term toxicity
• Aspartame & MSG – excitotoxins that may cross the blood-brain barrier

🌽 Real Food Brands Ready to Rise

These changes could pave the way for cleaner companies to thrive—brands already committed to transparency and simplicity, like:

• Siete Foods
• Late July Snacks
• Katz Gluten-Free

They’re doing what big food won’t: feeding people instead of fooling them.

📜 New Dietary Guidelines Coming

RFK Jr. also announced that new U.S. dietary guidelines will be released before August 2025. They’ll be:

• Condensed into just 4 pages
• Focused entirely on whole foods
• Free of lobbyist-influenced confusion

💥 Why This Matters

This isn’t just bureaucracy—it’s a cultural turning point. For decades, the FDA’s GRAS loophole has let companies self-approve ingredients. That’s about to change.

If successful, Kennedy’s plan could lead to:

• Lower disease rates
• Healthier children and communities
• More power returned to families and farms
• A revival of food as medicine

This is about healing, not just reform. About protecting future generations, not just adjusting the food pyramid.
