RFK Jr.: It’s an Illusion to Think that Processed Food Is Cheap ... You End up Paying a Higher Cost in the Long Run

EXCERPT:

COLLINS: “On ultra-processed foods, and getting into that here. You were born into a privileged background, obviously not something you can control. But I wonder what you would say to maybe a single mom of two kids, who’s reading this report, about how harmful these cheap but very accessible foods are, for her family, and saying, Well, sometimes that’s the best we could do, and that’s why that’s what’s on the food, or at the table, at the end of the day, or that’s what’s in their lunch box.”
KENNEDY JR.: “It’s an illusion to think that processed food is cheap, because you end up paying for it with diabetes. You end up paying for it with autoimmune dysregulation, with mitochondrial dysfunction, with inflammation, and you end up paying much higher costs in the long run.”
