Horrible idea when Michelle O was saying almost the exact same thing. Now it is like a MAGA revelation.

They didn't want to listen to an "uppity" black woman telling them how to be better stewards towards their own health. That's why

RFKJR is nothing more than another of Trump's dogs.
How's he going to do anything when he's eating McDonald's in photo ops with Trump?

So how much of what he's talking about doing is just a rehash of what Michelle Obama was talking about years ago?

Asked from a different angle... what policies does nom-RFK Jr propose?
RFK Jr. Fuels Uncertainty on Policies From Medicare to Abortion news.bloomberglaw.com
... Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s selection to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's top health official is prompting questions from policy watchers over how the pick will handle the range of key health policies that would fall under his purview. Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and leading vaccine skeptic, has been vocal on his positions against food additives and immunization recommendations. But the nominee for secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services has been relatively quiet on many of the other issues he would oversee while leading 13 supporting agencies and more than 80,000 federal employees. The pick's position on the Medicare agency's drug price negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act is unclear, as are his thoughts on the Food and Drug Administration's defense of the safety of the abortion pill mifepristone, which has been subject to litigation from doctors and Republican-led states that want to see it restricted. Analysts are divided on what Kennedy's leadership could mean for the $800 billion Medicaid program, as well as the continuation of the Affordable Care Act. ...

Not without farm workers he can't. It's a shame Americans don't raise farm workers but they have oooooodles of "business administrators" devising concepts to discuss why things don't get done.

It will be a laff riot on Capitol Hill when RFK Jr starts talking about better eating habits and every Dem in the room will bring up those woke, discredited ideas a that so many Dem administrations have already raised, only to have their ideas sneered at. Every Dem will then announce their pleasure at the administration of King Dotard II agreeing with them ...

Can't wait to hear them ask about his brain worm and how that impacts his ability to fill the role.

We just elected the most pro corporation anti regulation administration since the gilded age. The notion that this administration is going to allow RFK to interfere with the interests of the massive food and pharm industry is pure theater to manipulate the masses.
Rich people want their deregulation and profits and they are going to get them. They paid for this administration and nobody is going to get in their way.

So you know he's totally into health.

I'm OK with efforts to improve Americans' diet and overall outlook toward food, exercise and Big Pharma. But it should not be at the expense of vaccines, fluoridation, and other medical milestones that have benefited us all.

It is important that dems point that and any other situation where reps adopt dem positions. Dems do a good job of designing and implementing policies for the whole of society and screw it up by not emphasizing how those policies improve the lives of the average person. Reps, OTOH, do a good job designing and implementing policies for the rich and convince Trump's "poorly educated" that their lives will be improved. What's even more baffling is reps taking credit for dem policies for which they voted against and Trump's "poorly educated" swallowing it all: "hook line and sinker".
Being "poorly educated" doesn't make you stupid; just misinformed. Being poorly educated can be fixed; being stupid cannot. The vast majority of Trump's "poorly educated" are not stupid but what I think they do have in common with the misinformed is their resistance to the demographic changes that are taking place in the country. LBJ got it right: If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." After he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, he reportedly said to Bill Moyers: Well, I think we may have lost the south for your lifetime " and mine.'
This demographic drama is still playing itself out with an ever expanding demographic pool.

If people had any self control, they could make their own diets healthy again.

Most don't. RFK has no hope with this, no one is going to touch the junk food industry.
He said the food on Lewzer's plane was horrible & poison and the next day Lewzer made him eat a McDonald's burger on TV.
