RFK Jr. is pulling back the curtain on a reality that could shake the pharmaceutical industry to its core: mental health isn\u2019t just about brain chemistry\u2014it\u2019s about what we eat.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThere are studies coming out of\u00a0Stanford<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Harvard<\/a>\u00a0that show a lot of mental illness, including anxiety and depression, are related to food\u2026 Food is medicine. By changing your diet, you can lose some of those diagnoses,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Kennedy explained to\u00a0Fox News Host Sean Hannity<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kennedy says this problem isn\u2019t happening everywhere. In the U.S., about\u00a040% of adults are obese<\/a><\/strong>, while in Japan, the number sits at\u00a0just 5%<\/a><\/strong>\u2014and they live about\u00a0seven years longer<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on average.<\/p>\n The problem? The poison in our food.\u00a0Over 1,000 ingredients banned in Europe are still allowed in America\u2019s food supply.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe are letting down these kids. And there is a moral issue here<\/strong>\u2026 it\u2019s a financial issue. Health care costs are going to sink us. And the only way that we\u2019re going to solve it is by changing what we eat,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Kennedy said.<\/p>\n America\u2019s food system is making people sick, and Big Pharma is cashing in on the consequences. The good news is that RFK Jr. is raising awareness, and some restaurant chains are taking notice and making real changes.<\/p>\n Steak \u2019n Shake, for example, has ditched seed oils in favor of beef tallow for frying their food, a move that aligns with Kennedy\u2019s push to eliminate harmful industrial oils from our diet. Sweetgreen has pledged to remove seed oils entirely from its menu, opting for healthier alternatives like avocado oil. Outback Steakhouse is also reportedly reevaluating its ingredients in response to growing consumer demand for cleaner food.<\/p>\n
