After Trump win in the US presidential race, Robert F Kennedy Jr – who will be in charge of health – said the FDA/ Food and Drug Administration bureaucracy should be winnowed down. “There are entire departments, like the nutrition department… that have to go.” We await the impact on addiction.

Before the election, Trump had floated Kennedy as having a role in his administration, namely targeting federal agencies that oversee health care, food, and drugs.
“There are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA … that have to go—that are not doing their job. They’re not protecting our kids,” Kennedy told MSNBC on Wednesday.
When he was asked if he would remove any health agencies, Kennedy said, “to eliminate the agencies, as long as it requires congressional approval, I wouldn’t be doing that.”
“I can get the corruption out of the agencies,” he added.
He was asked whether he would be appointed as Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary, a position that requires Senate confirmation.
At a Madison Square Garden rally last month, Trump reiterated that he would have Kennedy join his administration and “let him go wild on health.”
“I’m going to let him go wild on the food. I’m going to let him go wild on the medicines,” Trump said.
“I think he’s a he’s a good man, and he believes, he believes the environment, the healthy people. He wants healthy people, he wants healthy food. And he’s going to do it. He’s going to have a big chance to do it, because we do need that.”
Trump and his wife Melania Trump “want to Make America Healthy Again”.
