It's Today Explained.
I'm Noel King with Myles Bryan, senior.
Reporter and producer for the program.
Hello.
Hi.
You went to public school, right, Miles?
Yes.
Go South High Tigers.
What do you remember about school lunch?
Ooh, I remember sad lasagna shrink wrapped in little containers.
I remember avoiding it.
Do you remember the nugs, the chicken nuggets?
Yeah.
If I had to eat school lunch, that was a pretty good option.
I actually liked them.
But in addition to being very tasty, those nugs were very processed.
And at the moment, America has got processed foods in its crosshairs.
It's true.
We are collectively very down on processed food right now.
None more so than Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert fluoride Kennedy Jr.
