Meet The 'Crunchy' Moms Who Support RFK Jr. As Health Secretary
• Zero HedgeThese are women who favor herbal treatments over physician-prescribed and over-the-counter medications, cooking with butter or beef tallow instead of seed oils, examining food labels at the grocery store, and exercising caution about vaccinating their children.
When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ran for president—first as a Democrat and then as an independent—these moms were among his most vocal supporters.
Fighting chronic disease, improving children's health, and addressing corporate influence on government agencies were vital parts of Kennedy's campaign platform.
Ultimately, Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign and backed the Trump ticket in August 2024.
Since then, Kennedy has launched his Make America Healthy Again campaign, with the intention to curtail what he calls America's chronic disease epidemic. He is seeking to have toxic chemicals from the nation's food supply removed and he wants to address what he has branded the corporate capture of federal health agencies, among other objectives.
