Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a vocal opponent of artificial food dyes, blaming them in part for the &#8220;chronic disease epidemic" in America. He may get the opportunity to bring major changes to the U.S. food industry under the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41822473/trumps-potential-health-czar-robert-f-kennedy-jr-rattles-vaccine-stocks-shoot-first-reaction"> incoming Trump administration.</a>&nbsp;
What To Know: President-elect Donald Trump has named Kennedy as his pick to lead the department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If confirmed by the Senate, Kennedy would oversee the Food and Drug Administration, among other federal health agencies, and may be able to effect policy changes that align with his views, which have run counter to programs widely viewed by the public health community as successes, such as water fluoridation and vaccines. 
Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42101365/indian-billionaire-one-of-the-worlds-richest-men-indicted-for-alleged-250-million-bribery-scheme">Indian Billionaire, One Of The World&#8217;s Richest Men, Indicted For Alleged $250 Million Bribery Scheme</a>
Kennedy has criticized the use of artificial dyes in popular cereals, snacks and beverages and noted that some dyes, like Red Dye No. 3, are banned in Europe and California due to potential health risks. Kennedy argues the U.S. food system allows many additives that are restricted in other countries to the detriment of the public's health. 
"We are betraying our children by letting these industries poison them," Kennedy said at a Trump campaign rally Nov. 2.
The potential HHS secretary has often targeted breakfast cereals in particular due to their popularity with children. 
"They get brighter colors in Froot Loops, but it's literally poisoning our kids," Kennedy told Fox News in September.&nbsp;
Froot Loops maker Kellogg said in 2015 that it was working to remove artificial colors and flavors from its branded cereals by the end of 2018, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/how-froot-loops-landed-at-the-center-of-u-s-food-politics-a5074e63">according</a> to the Wall Street Journal.  WK Kellogg Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLG#NYSE">KLG</a>) still sells cereal that contains the ingredients.
"The first thing I'd do isn't going to cost you anything because I'm just gonna tell the cereal companies: Take all the dyes out of their food," Kennedy said in October.
Kennedy's potential new role as the country's top health official has caught the attention of other food industry giants like General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>). The mega-manufacturer of processed foods released a statement after Trump announced Kennedy as his choice for the position. 
"Because this is always an evolving space, we work in close partnership with policymakers on this issue," General Mills said in the statement. "We will engage with federal regulators as they consider any additional changes they may propose."
Why It Matters: Trump has said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41822473/trumps-potential-health-czar-robert-f-kennedy-jr-rattles-vaccine-stocks-shoot-first-reaction">he is ready</a> to let Kennedy "go wild on health" and he could &#8220;do pretty much what he wants&#8221; in his administration. In his announcement of his intent to nominate Kennedy as secretary of HHS, Trump said he expects him to "end the chronic disease epidemic , and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"
"Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation and disinformation when it comes to public health," Trump's announcement stated.&nbsp;

Kennedy's War On Food Dyes Could Be Coming To Your Breakfast Table

It was big news earlier this year when Warren Buffett revealed he's no longer planning to leave his vast fortune to the Gates Foundation after his death. Instead, his billions will go to a trust <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866296/with-warren-buffett-donating-99-of-his-fortune-whats-left-for-his-three-children-well-its-complicated">managed by his three children</a>. For a man who once described <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41882910/bill-gates-shares-the-best-investment-for-getting-rich-if-youre-earning-100000-or-less-but-wall-street-might-not-agree">Bill and Melinda Gates</a> as "the perfect solution" for dispersing his wealth, this marked a seismic shift in philanthropy.

</ul>
In a 2008 Fortune profile, Buffett was clear in his admiration for Melinda, saying, "He's [Bill] smart as hell. But in terms of seeing the whole picture, she's smarter." He also referred to her as a "longtime friend." Buffett continued praising Melinda, saying, "I very much admire what she is doing for women around here and around the world."
Only weeks after the Gateses announced their divorce, Buffett resigned as a trustee of the foundation. As reported by The New York Times in a 2021 article, Buffett released a statement saying: "For years I have been a trustee – an inactive trustee at that – of only one recipient of my funds, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I am now resigning from that post, just as I have done at all corporate boards other than Berkshire's."
Warren Buffett may think Bill Gates is "smart as hell," but even he admitted in his Fortune profile, "Would I have given the Gates Foundation my fortune if Melinda weren't in the picture? That's a great question. And the answer is, I'm not sure."

The Buffett connection looms large in the October 2024 Vanity Fair interview, where Melinda discusses her life after divorce, the challenges of being a woman in philanthropy and her legacy. In classic Melinda style, she doesn't shy away from tough truths. She noted her decades of joint philanthropic work with Bill: "If I went into a president or prime minister's office and I was with my ex-husband, they would turn to him first. Unless I interrupted the conversation, they could have kept going for the whole meeting."
This wasn't just frustrating – it was telling. "Why would they assume I knew less than him about philanthropy when we had been doing it together for almost 25 years?" she asked. "That, really, was sexism."
Her willingness to call out these dynamics – and challenge them – is part of what makes her so effective. Melinda's journey from Microsoft marketing manager to one of the most powerful women in philanthropy hasn't been without its share of roadblocks. As she told Vanity Fair, during the early years of the foundation, she didn't understand the major role that gender played. She added, "But things just kept coming up for women – contraceptives or their health or what they wanted – that it started to make me realize we were making a mistake."
Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-pickle"> to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.</a>
It's this insight that shaped the Gates Foundation's focus on global health and education, with a specific lens on empowering women and girls. From ensuring access to contraceptives to fighting preventable diseases, Melinda's fingerprints are all over the foundation's most impactful initiatives.
But what happens when Buffett's billions are no longer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41198368/warren-buffetts-son-who-famously-cashed-in-his-90-000-inheritance-at-19-spends-millions-in-buffe">flowing to the foundation</a>? That's a question no one seems to have a clear answer for yet. Melinda, for her part, seems more than ready to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">embrace the challenge</a> as she continues to carve out her own space in the philanthropic world.

Warren Buffett Thinks Bill Gates Is 'Smart As Hell' – But Says His Ex-Wife Melinda Is Smarter 'In Terms Of Seeing The Whole Picture'

Grand Theft Auto fans had high hopes for today, Nov. 22, anticipating an announcement for GTA 6's Trailer 2 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/41884190/did-rockstar-drop-gta-6-trailer-hint-fans-spot-moon-clue-pointing-to-nov-22">based on a quirky "moon theory."</a>
Instead, they have been met with silence so far (as of publication), leaving the community frustrated and speculating about Rockstar's next move.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Is GTA 6&#8217;s Moon Theory?</h1>
The moon theory traces back to 2023 when Rockstar released an image in GTA Online featuring the moon in a Waning Gibbous phase. That phase coincided with the announcement date for the first GTA 6 trailer two months later.

When Rockstar released another image earlier this month showing the same moon phase, fans believed history would repeat itself. 
November 22 marked the final day of the current Waning Gibbous phase and fans were convinced Rockstar would either release the trailer or announce its release date.
But today, fans were met with no updates from Rockstar or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41818430/take-two-earnings-show-gta-6-on-track-for-2025-ceo-vows-no-huge-release-overlap">its parent company, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc </a>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>), which typically makes announcements around 9 am ET.

It's been nearly a year since Rockstar unveiled the first GTA 6 trailer, confirming a Vice City setting and breaking the internet in the process. Since then, fans have been left in the dark, with no follow-up announcements or new details.
Take-Two has maintained a Fall 2025 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/09/40905542/could-gta-6-be-pushed-to-2026-insights-from-former-rockstar-insider">release window for the game</a>, but Rockstar's silence is testing the patience of even its most loyal fans.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is facing legal heat following accusations of unlawful communication with Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), a leading opponent of the Biden administration&#8217;s plan to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Now, a judge has given both DEA and SAM until November 25 to respond.
Here&#8217;s what we know.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Facts</h3>
On November 20, DEA Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) John Mulrooney issued an order responding to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/emerging-markets/24/11/42136266/reliance-global-now-adjusted-ebitda-positive-with-growing-revenue-reflecting-potential-b">a motion</a> filed by cannabis organizations Village Farms International and Hemp for Victory. The motion disputes the DEA's role as a "proponent" of the rescheduling rule, alleging conflicts of interest.
The motion argues that the DEA's advocacy for the rescheduling rule violates impartiality principles:
&#8220;Not once in its history as an agency had DEA ever rejected an HHS scheduling recommendation. This time, however, DEA did not just disagree with HHS&#8217;s views, it opposed them so vehemently that the Attorney General had to refer the interagency dispute to the Office of Legal Counsel for resolution.&#8221;
As a result, Mulrooney has set a deadline for the DEA to respond by November 25, 2024. Part of the argument is that the DEA engaged in unlawful communications with the anti-cannabis group SAM, thus indicating its bias on the cannabis issue.
The plot thickened and legal tension escalated the very next day, on November 21, when Mulrooney extended the invitation for SAM to address allegations of unlawful ex parte communications with the DEA.
"As such, it is herein ORDERED, that in addition to the Government, should Smart Approaches to Marijuana (and by this order only that Designated Participant) elect to respond to the Motion it may do so no later than 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time on November 25, 2024,&#8221; stated his last order, as <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-judge-invites-prohibitionist-group-to-explain-allegedly-unlawful-talks-with-agency-amid-marijuana-rescheduling-review/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Arguments And SAM&#8217;s Alleged Role</h3>
The motion, filed on November 18, claims that the DEA's actions contradict its traditional role. 
The groups argue that the DEA, which enforces controlled substances law, should not also be advocating for changes to that law.
The motion also points out that the DEA's strong opposition to the rescheduling proposal, despite the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recommendation, raises concerns about the agency's neutrality. The involvement of SAM in this process, especially regarding alleged unlawful communications, has become a key issue in the case.
That is the reason why Mulrooney has ordered both the DEA and SAM to respond to the allegations, something they have failed to do so far.
