Healthier eating through smaller government

Two things that used to be distinctive to the left side of the aisle are becoming native to the Trump GOP: heavy-handed government intervention and a distrust of processed, mass-produced food.

Lifelong Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom President-elect Donald Trump plans to appoint as secretary of health and human services, has repeatedly demanded that the government ban or curb foods he finds unhealthy. His supporters, such as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), responded to Trump’s pick of Kennedy by calling for a ban on all sorts of additives, plus high-fructose corn syrup.
