Recording features Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promoting food-based clinic model for Indian Country

A recording captured in Phoenix features Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the Native Health Clinic urging replication of the clinic model across Indian Country to address chronic disease.

In the recording, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the speaker in the recording, said, "The Indian population in this country has the highest chronic disease rate in America, and they're sick because they're being mass poisoned by commodity food and by processed food." He said the clinic uses "real food" to help prevent, treat and "even reverse the chronic disease of our time." An unidentified presenter in the recording added that the foods shown were "high quality foods... grown in the Gila River in Indian country" and said, "the way we wanna make America healthy again is by giving people access to real nutrient dense food." Kennedy also said, "I'd like to clone this place and make it the standard of care in Indian country."
