What RFK Jr. wants from Washington

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : HHS and its agencies oversee drug approvals, food safety and disease surveillance, in addition to Medicare and Medicaid.
50% : But industry groups are threading a needle: Their farmer constituents have consistently and overwhelmingly backed Trump.
48% : "What can we do to get legitimate science that actually tells these things and end the capture of these federal agencies by large corporate interests?"While campaigning for Trump, Kennedy stood in front of the Agriculture Department headquarters in Washington and said he wants to overhaul U.S. food production, ridding it of pesticides and genetically modified crops -- key inputs for American farmers -- that he says are making Americans sick.
42% : The full force of industry pushback has yet to spin up, several lobbyists said, instead waiting to see the extent to which Trump will actually incorporate MAHA ideas into his policy agenda.
41% : Kennedy's push for greater chemicals regulation is the direct inverse of what the first Trump administration did at EPA, where the president installed a former chemicals industry lobbyist, Nancy Beck, to oversee the agency's toxic chemicals office, and David Dunlap, a former policy official for Koch Industries, the Kansas-based industrial conglomerate, to oversee the agency's science office.
21% : While major environmental groups that have strongly opposed Trump have not weighed in on the fluoride debate, influential scientists and public health experts they're aligned with have raised concerns about fluoridation similar to those raised by Kennedy.
