RFK Jr. promotes a food company that makes ultraprocessed meals

Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. raved in social media posts on Monday about the $7-a-pop meals that are delivered directly to the homes of Medicaid and Medicare enrollees. He even thanked Mom’s Meals for sending taxpayer-funded meals “without additives” to the homes of sick or elderly Americans. The spreads include chicken bacon ranch pasta for dinner and French toast sticks with fruit or ham patties. But an Associated Press review of Mom’s Meals menu, including the ingredients and nutrition labels, reveals that the company’s foods are the type of heat-and-eat, ultraprocessed food that Kennedy routinely criticizes.
