Michael Pollan praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his food stances, but called him a "horrible" pick to lead HHS .

Pollan: Kennedy 's stances on vaccines and fluoride "seem nutty" and that he was "nutty" Pollan also praised Kennedy for linking the epidemic of obesity and chronic disease to agricultural policies.

Kennedy has been criticized by medical and public health experts for his views.

Pollan , for his part, questioned just how much Trump would let Kennedy make true reforms to the food industry, should Kennedy be confirmed. "I have my doubts about whether Trump is going to give him authority to do what he wants to do around food," Pollan said of Kennedy , who over the weekend was in a viral photo eating McDonald's with Trump and others on Trump 's plane. "Whether he'll get anywhere, I have my doubts -- but I am pleased to see these issues getting talked about.".
