Sen. Bernie Sanders praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s message on food issues … and said he had not [decided] whether he would oppose President-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Kennedy to head the nation’s health agencies. In an interview …, the independent Vermont senator said that he feared some of Kennedy’s views on health issues are “extremely dangerous,” criticizing Kennedy’s call to pull fluoride out of U.S. water supply systems and his “very wrong” views on vaccines.
However, the Vermont Independent also said he might be able to find common ground [by] working with Kennedy, echoing his criticism of the influence the food industry has [on] Washington.
“I think what he’s saying about the food industry is exactly correct. I think you have a food industry concerned about their profits, [and] could care less about the health of the American people. I think they have to be taken on,” [said Sanders].
