Its really weird to have people defend the public health status quo. Everyone's fat, allergic to everything, getting cancer in their 20's and disabled by 40.

True. But that is caused by ultra processed foods. They are designed to make you eat more, so the companies make more money. We choose those foods for a variety of complex reasons -- from high palatability, to low price, to being too busy, to a lack of nutrition education.

It's not about vaccines.

Oh god. Now he's blaming his voice problem (spasmodic dysphonia) on the flu vaccine. This absolute knob.

For the current respiratory illness season, about 45% of Americans have gotten a flu vaccine. That's over 150 million people this season alone.

How many people do you know with spasmodic dysphonia, sounding like RFKJ?

What a grifter dimwit he is.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with his 15 year heroin addiction.

Prolonged drug use definitely causes brain damage - including use of alcohol.

The causes of SD are not yet clear to researchers, but there is definitely a genetic component and Kerry Kennedy, RFK Jr.’s sister, also has SD.

Presumably all of the dozen (?) offspring of the family got recommended childhood vaccines and yet most don’t have SD, so while the whole family case is anecdotal, it argues against a link to vaccines. SD researchers have never established any link to vaccines.

Pushing back on harmful “solutions” is not the same as defending the status quo. MAGA needs to get over the idea that questioning their leaders is an attack on freedom, justice, public health, America, etc.

If your house was on fire and some rando showed up with an axe and started chopping away at your car, objecting to that isn’t the same as saying “I want my house to continue to be on fire”.

There are more obvious culprits, like PFAS and Roundup and all the thousands of other food additives and unregulated, untested chemicals being dumped into the environment. Fast food and social media engineered to be addictive. Structural issues in low income communities, like food deserts, unstable housing, and lack of walkability, that contribute to poor diet. And so on.

Instead, RFK is ideologically driven and pushing junk science and food pyramids dictated by lobbyists instead of nutrition experts. We deserve better.

Oh yes, the old science derived food pyramid was great wasn’t it? Fattened people up like cattle with all those grains. Make Diabetus Great Again!

You are as idiotic as the current administration. The food pyramid has not existed or been used in guidelines fteen years. The meat and dairy administration helped sponsor the current guidelines. Make cardiologists more rich while they are at it!

*In fifteen years. What is hilarious is that the very administration who issued the new guidelines did not realize the food pyramid stopped being used fifteen years ago either. They kept talking about it. Effing idiots and the sheep eat it up.

Any dietary guidelines regardless of whether pyramid or plate shaped that don’t include legumes are dangerously ignorant and cannot be trusted.

There are no legumes on the new pyramid - they’re pushing protein (there is no protein deficiency in America, btw - but there is fiber deficiency that is very widespread, only 6% of Americans consume the RDA of fiber) but they don’t even mention the healthiest source of protein on the planet, and for the planet.

As someone who is learning how to eat properly for the first time in 50 years, I agree with you. I have bulked up protein and yes I know it is a fad at the moment. But I had never eaten enough of it to regulate blood sugar appropriately. So I craved sweets. Once I got more balanced, my cravings went away, I chose healthier foods, and lost weight.

Cue the fiber, though. I went without enough fiber when I prioritized protein. And the results were what you'd expect. Switched that up. Beans have been my savior.

I give my anecdote because some of us really do need to be thoughtful about adding more protein. It may not be a deficiency, but when it's not consumed appropriately, it can lead to other nutritional issues. In my case, wildly varying blood sugar levels, cravings, binging, being overweight.

But as we Americans tend to do, we go overboard. As did I. And I learned the hard way.

I hope everyone's insurance covers registered dietitians. They have been a godsend to me. If this administration cared about our health, they'd be maximizing health care coverage for all of us.

Yep. Next comes the fake claims that they have improved health or gotten rid of disorders because the numbers aren't going up anymore. Because we don't look at reality anymore.

It's all part of the Heritage Foundation's goal to reduce the US population. Kennedy is just the useful idiot.

Wait I thought all females needed to stay home and just have babies only leave the house to go the grocery store and church. Oh and also to get Botox and fillers like a pretty trad wife should. Im so confused- should we be dying or reproducing?

This is what I don't understand. Why would you pick someone with brain damage from a worm that ate his brain and heroin.

Both. So they can make money off your kids coming and going, and take advantage of you in a desperate, weakened state.

Remember the early 1900s when people lived 10 to a 2-room flat, worked for pennies in factories where the doors were chained shut, sent their children off to be crushed in machines and chimneys because they needed the money, and regularly ate adulterated food and drank polluted water, while millionaires crapped in gold covered toilets and spent 5 hours a day getting dressed?

That’s the “heritage” they want to go back to.
