Re: Confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for Health and Human Services Secretary

We, the undersigned American farmers and ranchers, proudly offer our full support and endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for confirmation as the next U.S. Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). President Trump has made it clear, he wants RFK Jr. at the helm of HHS to Make America Healthy Again by tackling the chronic disease epidemic.

Six in 10 Americans have at least one chronic disease, and 4 in 10 have two or more chronic diseases. Chronic disease costs the United States approximately $4.8 trillion each year when you consider both direct medical costs and lost productivity. Mr. Kennedy’s plan to reverse the chronic disease epidemic will reduce this financial burden on our country.

Under President Trump’s direction, Kennedy will reform America’s food system by taking strong action against ultra-processed foods and harmful food additives. Food safety, nutrition, and public health will be at the forefront of his efforts to ensure foods are safe, wholesome, and properly labeled.

He will work directly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to publish the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, providing science-based advice on healthy eating and nutrition. Together, these agencies will oversee the drafting of the USDA food pyramid, which informs U.S. consumers about healthy diets. Revising and improving USDA’s dietary guidelines will improve health outcomes while supporting domestic production and American farmers and ranchers.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. offers American consumers, farmers, and ranchers a vitally important vision of improved health and reduced food insecurity by employing policies that will grow the economy and restore rural farms and their communities.

For these reasons and more, we wholeheartedly endorse President Trump’s decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as the next Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Sincerely,

If you are not a farmer or rancher but still want to support/share/ spread, please send and share this form with anyone you know who is, and have them contact farmerjohnklar@gmail.com.
