Kennedy promoted new federal dietary guidelines focusing on whole foods and protein, while opposing processed foods, amid protests and bipartisan debate on vaccine policies.
- On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, RFK Jr. launched his 'Take Back Your Health' tour at the Pennsylvania Capitol rotunda around 11:15 a.m. and urged Americans to 'Eat Real Food' with new dietary guidelines.
- Following recent White House nutrition updates, Kennedy framed the stop as part of the Make America Healthy Again initiative and the Take Back Your Health tour.

- Later this year, Kennedy said his administration plans to study baby‑formula contaminants and reduce children's screen time, while officials noted the guidance could help Pennsylvania's roughly 5,000 dairy farms and reshape school meal programs and SNAP.
