RFK Jr. Would Transform American Health for the Better
RFK Jr is not definitely anti-vaccine, but pro- the health of children everywhere, and ready to take a hard look at our healthcare system.

Leading up to his confirmation battle, I have listened to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. carefully as he has discussed controversial issues like vaccines. It is clear that he is not anti-vaccine by any stretch.
RFK Jr. prioritizes children’s health and safety
What stands out about him – and what I deeply respect – is his commitment to prioritizing children’s health and safety over corporate profits in the vaccine industry. RFK Jr. has consistently demonstrated a passion for ensuring that future generations grow up with access to healthier environments, including clean soil, nutritious food, and public health policies rooted in evidence-based science. His focus on fostering clear-thinking, vital individuals within a robust, healthy society makes him an exceptional choice to lead a transformation in American health policy.
The state of health among children in the United States is alarming. Chronic health issues, including obesity, asthma, diabetes, and behavioral disorders, have skyrocketed over the last few decades. According to the CDC, childhood obesity affects nearly 20% of children and adolescents in the United States, and one in six children now has a developmental disability. Chronic diseases have become so pervasive that one in four children is reported to have a chronic health condition – a sharp increase compared to just a generation ago.
Poor nutrition is a significant driver of these trends. Studies show that over 60% of U.S. children consume more than half their daily calories from ultra-processed foods, which are strongly linked to inflammation, metabolic disorders, and reduced cognitive function.
Nutrition
Improving access to quality nutrition is one of the most powerful ways to reverse these troubling trends. Research demonstrates that children who consume a diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods – such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins – experience fewer chronic health issues, better academic performance, and enhanced mental health. By prioritizing regenerative agriculture and ensuring that every American has access to affordable, nutrient-dense foods, we can create a healthier generation and reduce the enormous financial burden of preventable diseases. Chronic diseases cost the U.S. over $4 trillion annually in terms of health care expenses and lost productivity, and much of this can be mitigated with better nutrition and prevention.
RFK Jr. understands all of this. For decades, he has been a champion of sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices that restore soil health, enhance food quality, and reduce environmental toxins. Regenerative agriculture not only improves the nutritional value of food but also strengthens local economies and mitigates climate change by sequestering carbon in the soil. RFK Jr.’s leadership in this space offers a unique opportunity to make the U.S. a global model for healthy, sustainable food systems.
A commitment to health and prevention doesn’t just make ethical sense; it makes economic sense. The phrase “health is wealth” has never been more relevant.
Children are the future
Without a healthy generation capable of making clear, thoughtful decisions, the U.S. cannot maintain its status as a leader on the world stage. By prioritizing the health of our children and reducing chronic disease through better food and health care systems, America can position itself as a demonstration country for vitality and innovation. A healthier, more resilient population translates to a stronger economy, lower health care costs, and increased global competitiveness.
RFK Jr. brings the type of leadership and skills necessary to revamp – and even reinvent – how we think about health in America. His platform emphasizes prevention, education, and the promotion of regenerative health care modalities and agriculture. Rather than treating illness after the fact, RFK Jr. advocates for proactive measures to ensure every child has the chance to grow up healthy, vital, and equipped to contribute to society. He has also championed policies that crack down on food additives, toxic chemicals, and harmful agricultural practices that are damaging both our health and our environment.
These are not fringe ideas; they are common-sense solutions supported by decades of research. RFK Jr. understands that investing in prevention, cleaner food systems, and regenerative health practices is the key to a healthier future for America.
RFK Jr. is the leader we need
When it comes to public health, RFK Jr. provides the leadership we need to tackle the complex issues facing our country today. Chronic disease, environmental degradation, and unsustainable food systems have plagued us for too long, and it is time for a transformative approach. RFK Jr. is uniquely positioned to lead.
Let’s make America healthy again – with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge.
