Can RFK Jr. 'Make America Healthy' While the GOP Reneges?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to make America healthy again by tackling corporate pollution and pushing for healthier diets. However, he's joining the Trump administration, which has a history of undermining public health programs and making healthy living more expensive. For instance, the GOP has cut funds for low-income nutrition programs and food stamps, aiming to pay for tax cuts. Additionally, Trump's policies like tariffs on Mexican produce and plans to deport immigrant farmworkers could raise the cost of fresh, healthy foods. In terms of environmental toxins, the Trump administration relaxed rules on coal plant waste, potentially increasing exposure to harmful substances like arsenic and mercury. Moreover, they've fought efforts to regulate guns, despite their significant health impact. While it's true that health outcomes are influenced by economic, cultural, and environmental factors, the GOP's current actions don't align with improving these determinants.
