Robert F. Kennedy has vowed to Make America Healthy Again.

On Monday the Secretary of Health and Human Services made one significant step to get the country closer to that goal.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins approved six waivers to six states that would exempt sodas and energy drinks from being included in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP).

Sen. Rand Paul immediately praised the decision, making the point that taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for junk food for others in the first place, particularly given what it does to their health.
