RFK Jr. Is the Biggest Public-Health Threat in U.S. History (w/ Sam Kass)
RFK Jr.'s Food Agenda: Smokescreen for Dismantling Public Health Institutions
Learn why RFK Jr.'s popular stance on seed oils and food dyes masks a dangerous strategy to dismantle foundational US health agencies, threatening long-term national well-being.
Short Summary
- RFK Jr.'s focus on specific food ingredients like seed oils offers zero meaningful public health improvement, despite being an exciting starting point for supporters.
- Concurrently, this public health narrative serves as a smokescreen used to dismantle and gut core regulatory bodies: CDC, FDA, NIH, and USDA.
- Attacks on social safety nets, like SNAP, are disguised as standard setting but actually serve to reduce benefits for vulnerable populations.
- Climate change poses an existential threat to the food supply chain, yet the current administration is actively gutting related regulatory policy.
This discussion with former Obama White House Chef Sam Kass analyzes the current political strategy surrounding food safety and nutrition. Kass argues that while the initial critique of industrial food is valid, the administration’s actions—simultaneously gutting regulatory agencies and ignoring climate impacts—make Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the greatest threat to US public health on record.

My doctor advised me to take two Tylenol and RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
He's also an enemy to the special needs community. I'm fully convinced he would rather have my son institutionalized rather than living in a community setting. So much progress has been made for people with autism, or cognitive disabilities, or physical disabilities, and he has done so much damage to the country's perceptions of this community. Every parent, teacher and therapist I know loathes him. And it is painful to sit with a young adult, who is aware of what's going on and hear their heartbreak and fear. This administration is flat-out evil.
Great story, wonderful interview and such a competent AND modest guy…..👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
As an immunocompromised person, I find the entire state of HHS under RFKj to be terrifying. The whole thing is like an old flim-flam traveling medicine show. "Here's a little mercury tincture for what ails you".
I have heard about this guest, this is the first time I have heard him speak — thoughtful and insightful person. Thanks!
It’s almost like the Republican Party is a criminal operation with the only goal to enrich themselves and their donors
RFK Jr. & Trump have proven one thing without a doubt. If you are born rich in America, no amount of stupidity, lies, or fraud will limit your opportunities. You can fail upwards to the very highest levels of power, as long as you have no shame or soul.
All of us with kids and grandkids look to their future with trepidation
This is your reminder that RFK Jr sounds like he swallowed a big bag of broken kazoos.
RFK should be charged with murder.
