Washington (AP). Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Monday praised a company that produces 7 meals that are supplied directly to Medicaid and Medicare Student Home.
He even thanked his mother’s dishes for sending the dishes funded by taxpayers to “without additives” for the homes of the sick or the elderly Americans. Smooth contains chicken side ranch noodles for dinner and French toast sticks with fruit or ham cakes.
“This is actually one of the solutions to make our country healthy again,” Kennedy said in the video, published in his official secretary of health, after he looked at the Oklahoma object of the company last week.
However, the related Mom dishes menu, including ingredients and nutrition labels, a press review indicates that the company’s offers are heat and eating, especially the type of ultraprocesses food that Kennedy regularly criticizes the fact that people are ill.
Meal contains chemical additives that make it impossible to restore their kitchen at home, said Marion Nestle, a nutritionist at New York University, a nutritionist at New York University and a food policy expert who reviewed the AP menu. Many elements of the menu contain a lot of sodium and some are high in sugar or saturated fat, she said.
“It is quite possible to cook such dishes with real food and without any particularly processed additives, but every meal I have inspected is loaded with such additives,” said Nestle. “What is sad is that they don’t have to be like that. Other companies are able to produce much better products, but of course more expensive.”
Mom’s dishes do not contain artificial, oil paints that Kennedy pressed to remove companies from products, she noted.
Mom’s dishes products “do not include ingredients that are commonly found in particularly processed foods” such as synthetic food paint, high fructose corn syrup, certain sweeteners or synthetic preservatives that are banned in Europe, Teresa roof, company spokesman, In the letter. It did not consider the use of foods in foods that make them particularly intended.
Feeding is a “healthy alternative” to what many people would find in their grocery stores, Andrew Nixon, a US health and human service representative, said in response to questions about mom’s dishes.
Mom’s meal is one of several companies throughout the US, which supplies “medically adapted” at home. Food programs are covered by Medicaid for some students, including people with cancer or diabetes, as well as some older Americans who are included in certain Medicare health insurance plans.
According to the company’s website, the hospital was recently removed from the hospital.
It is unclear how many federal taxpayers spend the dishes through Medicaid and Medicare every year. Last year’s Stat News survey found that some states have spent millions of dollars to provide medical adapted dishes for Medicaid entrants who have been sold as healthy and “nutritionists approved”. However, many companies served food containing salt, fat or sugar – all of the unhealthy American diet staples, reached the report.
Defining ultraiprinthine food can be difficult. Most US foods are processed, whether freezing, grinding, fermenting, pasteurizing or other means. Food created through industrial processes and using ingredients such as additives, colors and preservatives that you could not duplicate in the home kitchen are considered the most recycled.
Kennedy said that a healthier US diet is the key to his vision to “make America again healthy.” His call to increase the Americans in the Whole Foods diet helped Kennedy create his unique coalition from short loyalists and suburban moms who called themselves “maha”.
In a recently published social media recording, where he criticized many ultraprocessed foods in American diets, Kennedy urged Americans to choose healthier solutions.
“This country has lost the simplest of all freedoms – the freedom that comes from healthy,” Kennedy said.
