🔥 RFK Jr. just laid out major reforms on baby formula, cell phones in schools, and food safety!
🧵THREAD
Secretary Kennedy, HHS, and the FDA are launching "Operation Stork Speed" to improve baby formula safety.
They plan to do comprehensive tests to review the formulations for the first time since 1998!
“We're gonna review the formulations for the first time since 1998 and do comprehensive tests to make sure this is the healthiest product that our kids can have.”
Secretary Kennedy has said he wants to get cell phones out of schools.
“There are many other countries in the world that have banned cell phones in our schools.”
“Cell phones also produce electric magnetic radiation, which has been shown to do neurological damage to kids when it's around them all day.”
“Cell phone use and social media use on the cell phone has been directly connected with depression, poor performance in schools, suicidal ideation, and with substance abuse.”
Secretary Kennedy announced he will be getting rid of the GRAS standards for new products!
“We are going to get rid of the GRAS standards for new products. We're going to go back and review all of these old ingredients to make sure that they are safe, and we're going to encourage these companies to get rid of them as quickly as possible.”
Secretary Kennedy also made clear he will be approaching allowing harmful ingredients in our food differently than past HHS secretary’s.
“In this country, food ingredients are innocent till proven guilty.”
“In Europe and other countries they have to prove themselves safe before you add them, and we ought to have that kind of protection for American citizens.”
