Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Fox News Thursday evening that the “one place” he changed is within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Kennedy was confirmed as the new HHS secretary on Thursday, with the Senate final vote reaching 52-48.

“Oh, we’re not going to take [that away]. That’s what I’m saying. If you want to eat Big Mac, you should,” Kennedy said. “But you should. But you know, McDonald’s should be encouraged to use beef when cooking Big Macs. So, you can’t help but feel that seed oil or actually sick you. It’s better for people rather than using other cooking oils.”
“So we want to do a lot, but we don’t take away the choices from people,” Kennedy added. “One place where we really say we need to change our policies is the SNAP program and food stamps, and school lunches, because in many cases the federal government pays for it. We shouldn’t subsidize people.”
SNAP, the USDA (USDA) program, offers food benefits to low-income families. 2021 USDA Reportthe study stated that almost nine out of 10 snap participants faced barriers when “providing healthy meals throughout the month.”

Kennedy believes in “freedom of choice” and wants to provide Ingraham with “radical transparency” so that Americans can understand the effects of what they are consuming.
“If you want to eat Twinkies, you should be able to eat them, but you should know what’s in them,” Kennedy said. “So a lot of what I’m trying to do is about radical transparency, things that people understand, and making them understand and understand that people may look cheap when they eat it. Long Run. You’ll have diabetes.”
“There are certain additives. There are 10,000 additives in the food,” Kennedy said. “We have 400 Europeans. Many of the additives we have are illegal in Europe. We need to move more and more towards European standards.”
Kennedy previously addressed concerns about seed oil in American food, and in an October 2024 interview with Fox News, “unhealthy ingredients” said “despite the extremely serious illnesses that include inflammation throughout the body.” He said that it is available in national food because it is being “subsidized.” . ”
