President-elect Trump's choice to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is certainly a controversial one. He has vowed to take on "big food" and "big pharma" to "Make America Healthy Again." Of course, to achieve his agenda, Mr. Kennedy would likely have to significantly overhaul DHHS and require a myriad of additional regulations – something Republicans are typically opposed to. And if confirmed, I expect his efforts to revamp food policy to be as controversial as the man himself. As Mr. Trump's choice to head the Department of Health and Human Services, [Mr. Kennedy] would have far-reaching authority over the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates about 80 percent of the nation's food supply.
