He can be notorious because of his conspiration views on vaccines.
But for millions of mothers throughout America, Robert F Kennedy, JR de Frontman and in favor of what they have been waiting for.
The newly confirmed head of the Ministry of Health and Human Services has promised to rid harmful chemicals of American food supply as one of its top priorities to make America healthy again (Maha).
He is also a critic of the pharmaceutical industry for what he says is a deliberate push to get as many people, especially children, on as many medicines as possible.
For mothers such as Vani Hari, a food activist and blogger who is concerned about the rising percentages of chronic diseases such as asthma, allergies and obesity in children, this resonates.
When Mrs. Hari decided to leave her well -paid consultancy courses in the financial world to work on her food activist blog, Food Babe full -time, she did not know to what extent American food companies have subjected people to unhealthy and even harmful ingredients for decades.
With the support of RFK JR, she led a successful campaign against Kraft, uncovering the artificial dyes in his American Macaroni and cheese, pushing the company pushed to reformulate after the consumer's recoil.
In addition to Kraft, Mrs. Hari has put pressure on the major brands such as Subway, Panera and General Mills to remove harmful additives.

Hari RFK JR in DC last month
In her activism she has discovered that many mothers, just like them, are desperate on cleaner ingredients and lifestyle for their children.
The Noord -Carolinian told Dailymail.com: “RFK JR has been such a great leader who has worn the voice of me and so many Americans set up with our food system.”
His popular rhetoric about food and general physical health is why many may be willing to look the other way when it comes to his more controversial views, especially about vaccines in childhood and autism, a link that has been proven.
RFK JR bore Mrs. Hari's meeting to eliminate artificial colorants on the campaign track and to witness its 400,000 signatures at Kellogg's head office, where she was met by 1,000 supporters.
It was the biggest event ever organized against the food industry and the most extensive petition ever collected, in which Kelloggs were encouraged to remove artificial dyes.
She said that Mr. Kennedy saw what happened that day, when the managers of Kellogg showed a large 'get off oy get off oy lawn' board and sent their guards to confront the crowd.
“They didn't have the decency to accept the petitions and ignored us,” she said. RFK JR took their concern about him on the campaign track.
“When he was asked, what are some of the things you are going to do if you have a position of power under President Trump, he said, I will cause the grain companies to remove artificial dyes.”
As HHS -Baas, RFK JR has a major authority to put pressure on food companies to be more transparent about what is going on in their products, to determine food guidelines for schools and promote measures to ban certain ingredients.

Because of her activism, Mrs. Hari discovers that many mothers, just like them, are desperate on cleaner ingredients and lifestyle for their children.
Months before RFK JR's future boss Donald Trump won 46 percent of the support of female voters, the HHS-Pick ran for President himself.
What was left of his support in August included a group that was largely identified as independent (74 percent). Under that cohort, a larger share leaned the Republican.
Among his greatest fans were conservative Christian mothers who, if it came to RFK JR who participated in the Harris campaign or those of Trump, would still go for the Lord Trump.

After suspended his bid for the president, Mr. Kennedy contacted the team of Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss the possibility of having to discuss in her administration.
He was looking for a meeting to propose to fall out of the race and to endorse it in exchange for a cabinet position, although the Harris campaign refused.
Subsequently, Mr. Kennedy endorsed Mr. Trump and appeared at a meeting only a few days after he had dropped his bid at the office.
At the beginning of November 2024, Mr. Trump announced that he would nominate RFK JR to lead HHS, a remarkable choice given the earlier criticism of Mr. Kennedy on Mr Trump, who called his supporters' outright Nazis' and a 'bullying head “And a” threat to democracy. ”
Not long after President Trump announced his choice, mothers sang his praise on Tiktok and said: 'No chemicals in our food only for winning! Go em Bobby !! '

Another said: 'RFK is the biggest victory for our children and their health. Thank God for answered prayers! '
Karlie Reinsma, a 35-year-old nurse and mother of a toddler, told the free press that RFK's appointment gives her 'hope' about his objectives to adopt the food and pharmaceutical industry and to observe corruption at the FDA, that All are 'in bed together. '
Mrs. Hari, whose children are four and eight, repeated the sentiments of many more mothers online who have become more and more aware, partly thanks to her blog, of what is seen as a treacherous push of ultraco -coded food about Americans.
She said: “And in his videos and in his campaign blows he accepted my agenda that I have been working on for more than ten years, and that is what we need from our leadership in Washington, and that's why I support him.”
Her activism and advocacy for consumer safety is in line with that of RFK, JR, which has often challenged regulatory authorities and business influence in the food industry. One of his campaign blows was to eliminate 'toxic' food additives.
The FDAs generally recognized as a safe (grass) designation, formalized in the nineties, has set up a self -reporting system with which companies can determine ingredient safety based on the conclusions of a scientific panel.
Mr. Kennedy has argued to visit the FDA's grass standard and to say that it has been looked at every new chemical view [as] Innocent until he has been guilty. '
He told the Senate: we have 10,000 ingredients in our food in this country because FDA uses a standard called the grass standard … In Europe they have 400 ingredients in their food.

“We allow these companies – because of their influence on this body – about our regulatory authorities for American American children … I believe I am the only person who can end it.”
In the past two decades, hundreds of food additives in the food supply have been introduced with minimal supervision of the regulations.
In contrast to European regulators, who proactively assess ingredient lists and formulations before products reach shopping boards, American supervisors tend to follow a more reactive approach.
Mrs. Hari said: 'I found this situation extremely unethical, on-American and hypocritical of the American food companies; How they can get away with selling a safer version to other countries and not their own citizens, why they would not come up with one safe version and sell them to all their customers and instead serve us the more toxic. '
“When I could be with him in Washington on September 23 and my testimony to how American companies would poison us with ingredients that they do not use in other countries and why activists such as me and in other grassroots have citizens to hold these companies responsible. He nodded with his head. '
Mrs. Hari could not further discuss her role in politics, but expects Mr Kennedy to be able to do what the heads of the past have been refurbished – holding the food industry responsible.
