America is in a health crisis. We're overwhelmed by chronic diseases, grappling with concerns about the safety of our food and environment, and Americans are struggling to trust the very institutions designed to protect us. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent figure known for his controversial stance on many topics, claims he has the cure.
