While RFK Jr. put a spotlight on food dangers as a presidential candidate and secretary of Health and Human Services, the FDA under Kennedy has taken little meaningful regulatory action, opting instead to extract voluntary commitments from manufacturers. Gabriel, meanwhile, has continued passing state laws banning dyes and additives from school lunches and establishing the nation's first statutory definition of ultraprocessed foods.
“I always assumed there was someone in Washington, DC, watching my back. When I learned that that wasn't the case, it actually made me angry.”
