Kennedy’s silence on raw milk underscores a growing disconnect between his Make America Healthy Again agenda and his record in office, some of his supporters say. While he has embraced high-profile cultural flashpoints such as vaccines, some allies view Kennedy as reluctant to engage other thorny elements of the MAHA movement’s wish list, including efforts to loosen restrictions on raw milk and on alternative health products.
Before taking office, Kennedy promised to end what he dubbed the Food and Drug Administration’s “aggressive suppression” of raw milk and other natural products and therapies. His recent social media activity has instead promoted whole milk, a politically safer choice that has support from some in the public health community.
