RFK Jr.: Ultra-processed Foods Killing Native Americans

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told a House committee on Wednesday that ultra-processed foods are killing Native Americans.

Kennedy appeared before the House Appropriations Committee to talk about Health and Human Services Department initiatives and the funding he said is needed from Congress.

The New York Post reported a Kennedy comment that, to some, came across as a startling pronouncement. “Ultra-processed food is a genocide on the American Indian.”
