It is predicted that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be appointed by President-elect Trump to head the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

A source from the transition team, who is familiar with the matter, confirmed via phone call that Trump will appoint RFK Jr. to HHS.

The announcement comes just over a week after Trump won back the presidency.

Kennedy, a key figure in the Trump campaign, was asked about his potential role in the next White House and whether he would begin "clearing out the top-level federal service workers at the FDA and the CDC."

The nutrition department in the FDA must be eliminated because they are not performing their duties and are not safeguarding our children. It is astonishing that Froot Loops in the US contain 18 or 19 ingredients, while in Canada, they have only two or three.
