Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is known for his controversial views on public health, but one area where he has broad agreement is his concern about heavy metals in food. If he becomes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), his position will indirectly support people suing food companies over these issues.
This support is especially important under a Republican administration, as Republicans have traditionally backed big food companies and been against stricter environmental regulations. If that support weakens, it could make it harder for baby food companies to defend themselves in these lawsuits, giving more strength to the people taking legal action.
