RFK has the following goals for healthcare reform in America:
1. Clean up the corruption
2. Get back to science-based evidence
3. End chronic disease
He will be actively working against big food companies, big chemical companies, and big pharma, so naturally, he’s getting a lot of pushback. The U. S. spends over 4.1 trillion dollars each year on healthcare, yet we’re at the bottom as far as health. Why?
Here's what I think can improve America’s health!
1. Change the institutional foods
Prepackaged foods are given to people in nursing homes, prisons, schools, hospitals, and other public institutions. These institutional foods are very low-quality, highly processed foods. The health of the people in these institutions would quickly improve by simply removing the refined sugars, starches, and oils from their diets.
2. Address the subsidized foods
Subsidized foods are paid for by taxpayers. Corn, soy, wheat, sugar, and rice are the most highly subsidized foods. Changing the types of foods that are subsidized and investing in small farmers can significantly improve this problem.
3. Changing GRAS
“Generally recognized as safe” is a term used by the FDA for products that have been safety tested by their own manufacturers. To avoid conflict of interest, these tests should be conducted by third-party independent companies.
4. Change food fortification
Synthetic folic acid and iron fortification of food can cause serious problems for many people.
5. Disallow tax dollars from being used for drugs
Every year, 40 billion dollars of taxpayer money is used to pay for medical research to develop new drugs.
6. The rounding rule
If a product contains less than .5 grams of an ingredient, it can be rounded down to 0. This is misleading and should be eliminated. People need to be more aware of what's really in their food. Companies also need to be forced to raise the quality of the ingredients in their products.
7. End sun phobia
Sun phobia paired with low RDAs for vitamin D is contributing to massive vitamin D deficiency in the population, putting people at risk for disease.
