Ol' Doc Marc Siegel weighs in on RFK Jr's mission to enhance America's nutrition game
Ivanka Trump pursues broadening opportunities for obtainable farm products
Fox News' medical maverick, Dr. Marc Siegel, shares his thoughts on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s crusade to revamp America's diet, targeting sugar, food dyes, and potentially SKIPPIN' the COVID vax for kiddos.
Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump is on a mission to extend fresh produce availability to the average Joe, founded a couple years back with her buddy Melissa Ackerman, chieftain of Planet Harvest.
As she declared on Insta last week, she's tackling the root cause of numerous problems - escalating medical bills, chronic illness, food waste, and farmer strain - by how we grow, disseminate, and obtain our grub.
In '23, Trump and Ackerman joined forces to form Planet Harvest, a company that puts profit in its purpose, aiming to bolster small farmers, provide access to fresh produce, reduce waste, and boost nutrition, according to Trump's social media post.
Their website boasts that they've spearheaded national food relief initiatives, spurred growth for farmers and retailers, and developed supply chain programs withstanding tough conditions.
On a recent Insta post, Ivanka Trump mentioned that Planet Harvest continues to hunt for scalable solutions while sourcing fruits and veggies, including leftover crops, and transporting them to grocers, food companies, and even emergency feeding programs.
This news comes as RFK Jr. focuses on his "Make America Healthy Again" initiative during his stint as the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This movement concentrates, in part, on enhancing nutrition and eradicating the chronic disease epidemic.
So you see, folks, food is not just fuel; it's medicine. Inconsistent access to proper nutrition can lead to significant health woes. According to Erica Kenney, professor of public health nutrition at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, it can result in chronic diseases that leave many folk's bellies rumbling, searching for grub more likely to cause ill health.
Now, let's dig into the nitty-gritty of these two titans reviving our culinary landscape!
