Healthcare is incredibly complex because currently all technologies we have just make living longer exponentially more expensive with every added year.
But one thing is clear: it's easy to improve the nutrients that people in the USA take.
Whenever I travel in to USA, in the airports I can't even find a simple salad or any real food, even though I can see lots of pictures of salads, which drives me crazy.
Last year I went through Atlanta airport, I bought a hamburger because they didn't have literally any other food at 10pm, and I thought I would just throw away the buns and eat the salad + maybe the meat (depending of the ingredients). Then I looked at the ingredients and it was like 50 things that I didn't even know what they mean. It didn't smell or taste like food at all, so at the end I found 1 year old nuts in my bag that my mom packed a year earlier, and I ate that.
While you are right and you have to work(and pay) to find good food in the US, I would not use airport food as a signal of nutrition availability anywhere in the world
I think airports are great reflections of culture of a country, because that's the first thing a visitor from another country sees, but I had other experiences in USA, where I felt that some of the reataurants just shouldn't be allowed to exist.
I'm from Hungary, a country with 4x smaller average salary, and you can be sure that nowhere would the thing that they sold me without shame in the airport would be considered food, do it's clearly not a money problem.
I believe RFK Junior understands how seriously USA food culture is behind compare to the available money and hope he does something about it.
