The CEO of the J.M. Smucker company has rejected the idea that Americans will stop indulging in snack foods despite campaigns to "make America healthy again" from the makers of Ozempic and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"As it relates to anything in the political domain, we believe very strongly that snacking continues," J.M. Smucker CEO Mark Smucker said on Tuesday. "Consumers are going to continue to look for a way to reward themselves at different times throughout the day."
