WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 7: U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says, "Our childhood obesity rate is five times higher than countries like France. One third of U.S. teens have pre-diabetes. Over 35% are overweight or obese, and 20% of young adults have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. 77% of military age Americans are ineligible for military service because of diet-related conditions. If a foreign adversary sought to destroy the health of our children, cripple our economy, to weaken our national security, there would be no better strategy than to addict us to ultra-processed foods," during a news briefing in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House on January 7, 2026 in Washington, DC. Kennedy and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins joined White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to discuss new dietary guidelines encouraging the consumption of fewer processed foods and more whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and saturated fat.
