The ‘really sticky’ situation facing the public health establishment: RFK Jr.

“It’s a reframing that’s long been needed,” said Sandra Albrecht, an epidemiology professor at Columbia University, of Kennedy’s focus on the causes of disease, adding that public health officials “will need to work with the administration” despite Kennedy’s baggage.

“Our diets are significant factors in noncommunicable diseases or chronic diseases,” Jessica Fanzo, climate professor and director of the Food for Humanity Initiative at Columbia University, said. “If it were me, I, too, would ambitiously want to go after the food system.”

“Climate change and the rampant extreme events we are grappling with are a reckoning. We are realizing we don’t have a choice, and for some living in resource-constrained settings, the choice is even more limited. We have to change the way we grow food, how we distribute it, and how we consume it. We have to consider equity issues across food systems. We have to hold our governments and the range of private sector actors accountable to assist in this transition. We can’t leave it to eaters to fend for themselves when the cards are often stacked against them.” – Jessica Fanzo, Professor of Climate and Director of the Food for Humanity Initiative, Columbia Climate School
