RFK Jr vows to make sure kids get ‘real food,’ not ‘poison’
U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the banning of more than half a dozen synthetic food dyes is just the beginning as he works to confront America’s chronic health crisis.
“We’re going to do real science, and we’re gonna do science precisely on the issues that American[s] care about. Making sure their kids are getting food that isn’t poison. The food our kids are eating today is not really food. It’s food-like substances,” he said on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
RFK Jr., alongside National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary, announced Tuesday in Washington, D.C., plans to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes in the nation’s food supply.
The move is part of a broader effort by regulators to reexamine what Americans consume. The FDA banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in food earlier this year, citing links to cancer in some animals.
The FDA and HHS plan to begin the process of revoking authorization for two synthetic food colorings – Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B – within the coming months.
It’s also working to eliminate six remaining synthetic dyes, such as Green No. 3, Red No. 40 and Yellow No. 5, from the food supply by the end of 2026.

I hope he can accomplish all this. I was against the coloring, the antibiotics, the hormones, etc. in our food when I first found out they were putting these things in.

It’s a start. The nutrient deficiencies in processed foods are enormous.
Reading the nutrition labels for all the foods you eat is a real eye-opener.
It’s going to be an uphill battle.
