Now they want Americans to starve to death by the millions! But not just any Americans; hardest hit will be lower SES folks.

I'm sorry to upset you PP, but I assume you work for a chemical company. I'm so happy RFK Wormbrain is trying to get pesticides and artificial ingredients out of our food supply. All Americans will be healthier as a result, and no one is going to starve. That's chemco propaganda.

Everyone except these MAHA dum dums, that is.

This is false.

Glyphosate is completely unsafe.

More chemical company LIES.

Good for Wormbrain!!

I think it’s mostly bluster and nothing will change. Except for vaccinations, which is tragic.

You may not like the moniker MAHA, but you've hust articulated MAHA positions. People don't like RFK-- I don't, honestly-- but we need to make some serious changes around our food standards.

I’m not MAHA because in a million years I wouldn’t hitch my flag to the GOP who cares primarily about profits over people. They’re also anti-science. I actually had to unfollow many influencers over this and called them out.

But yes, I’m 80% vegan who brings food to sporting events and is anti-major farms and their horrific practices that harm Americans, especially many low-income folks who live by them. I think America would save money pushing broccoli and kale and quinoa. Win win.

How exactly are we going to produce the food people actually need to eat without big farms?

We did just fine before Big Farming created monocultures that are killing us.

A far more diverse, chemical-free food supply will benefit all of us. Big Farms and Big Processed Food go hand in hand with obesity, a major killer of Americans.

I doubt any of RFKJrs proposals will come to fruition, but I support them because they are good for Americans. Nothing else the Trump regime is doing benefits anyone but the rich.

One pending bill tries to define candy as “flourless”, but under that definition, Twix and Kit Kat would be exempt. Cereal also gets blurry. Many cereals contain added sugar but also contain healthy ingredients. Do we ban Honey Nut Cheerios?

There isn’t much evidence to suggest SNAP recipients eat any less healthily than other low-income earners. It’s also hard to restrict foods without further stigmatizing that group. I’ve gone through periods where money was extremely tight, and being able to have an occasional treat or give my kids a birthday cake was so important psychologically. There’s a strain of Ayn Rand heartlessness in these policies - the attitude seems to be if you’re poor, you must live only on rice and beans until you’ve bootstrapped yourself into a strata of society that deserves ice cream.

That said, I do agree with reducing harmful food dyes amd additives, looking at alternative pest reduction methods, and encouraging Americans to eat more healthily. I’m old enough to remember when Michelle Obama wanted everyone to eat more fruits and veggies, and the right wing lost their mind. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

Sweetened beverages and soda are the top two items purchased through SNAP. By definition, that is junk nutrition and evidence of SNAP recipients eating less healthy.

SNAP; it is in the name, is meant to provide sustenance, not treats on the taxpayer's dime.

Actually, milk and ground beef are #2 and #3. And the point was that the buying habits of SNAP recipients aren’t substantially different from the buying habits of lower income Americans in general, therefore they aren’t demonstrably less healthy than that population.

If we’re concerned about their health, we should be providing them more assistance so they can buy organic, local, grass fed, and whole grain. Eating healthy isn’t cheap.

LOL absolutely not. Your average middle-class family can't afford what you just proposed, and you want SNAP recipients getting their grass-fed Kobe beef at Whole Foods? GTFOH.

Soooo, it’s not about health after all.

The average daily SNAP benefit is $6. It’s challenging to construct 3 palatable meals from that, let alone healthy meals that don’t involve high sodium canned foods, starchy sides, the cheapest cuts of meat, and low quality produce.

I’m not arguing for junk food either, just agreeing with the impracticality of demanding that people on a limited income eat healthier, while secretly thinking they don’t deserve to.

Cheap cuts of meat and "low quality produce" are healthy. As are vegetarian proteins.

There is no need consume high sodium canned foods, when non sodium versions are available.
Starchy sides are just junk. They don't satisfy hunger.

At $6 a day, you’re buying the marked down meat that expires today, and bland convenience store fruit bred for durability rather than nutrition (you don’t have a car, so much of your shopping is done at whatever’s nearby). The convenience store does not carry “non sodium” canned goods, but they do have a limited selection of low sodium canned goods that, despite the label, still pack 30-45% of your sodium intake for the day.

My friend I invite you to visit an Aldi’s. I’m sure SNAP benefits could be improved, but I can make delicious and nutritious meals for $6. Nobody likes Red Delicious apples and there are much better varieties now that are bred to hold up better in the cold chain. Or you can grab a pineapple and banana (cheap).

the issue with nutrition is not low-quality produce and meat. That is a laughably ahistorical and ignorant point of view. With advances in refrigeration and agricultural technology we have access to an absolute abundance of healthy foods at cost that is historically low (recent inflation notwithstanding).

There IS and issue with nutrition though and it is that working families do not have the time, energy and often skill/cultural knowledge to cook appealing meals. It becomes much easier to grab McDonalds or make a box of Mac & cheese when you have young kids and a FT job.

It’s cute that you think there’s an Aldi’s on every street corner, especially in lower income areas.

Sure, with access to a car and unlimited free time you can put together healthy meals on a $6 budget for one day, one week, maybe even a month, but over an entire lifetime of restricted eating, subtle nutritional deficits build up, as well as unhealthy attitudes around food. It’s absurd to say “make better choices” when so many factors limit the choices available - including, as you noted, working full time and having kids (I’m 100% in agreement there). There’s a lack of time to research sales and clip coupons and go all over town to find the best bargains, a lack of living space to buy in bulk and store (and again that assumes having a car to get purchases home), limited kitchen space and equipment, lack of energy after working exhausting jobs and different shifts. It would certainly be worthwhile to equip families with better knowledge and resources to eat healthier, which I’m sure has been tried at some level, but all the other factors need to be addressed too if we’re serious about getting people to eat healthier.

Stop making excuses. We work full time and my family will eat leftovers because no one has time to cook everyday. I don't have time to clip coupons. We generally eat what's on sale that week.

That’s nice that you’ve found a system that works for you, but that doesn’t mean it works for everyone else.

Obesity is directly tied to increased pesticide use, globally. Many people have success detoxing before losing weight.

RFK Jr is not over the EPA. Trump administration actual actions at EPA will lead to worse and increased pesticide use, not less. RFK Jr is a distraction and can say whatever he likes, but the Trump admin actions at EPA speak louder than words. Why is RFK Jr silent on PFAs??

Yep.

Washington DC killed off smaller farms through excessive regulation. Now only the big guys rule. Same with retail and drug stores, which used to be family owned.

So you want everyone to migrate from the cities back to small farms to engage in manual labor? Do you know how expensive food would get if it could not longer be produced at scale? The only reason you can even say stupid sh*t like this is because you literally know nothing about the food system. Or I dunno, I guess you want to go back to the days of The Jungle and people regularly dying of food borne illness.

Hmm, I thought it was the decreased governement support and emphasis on free market by Reagan in the 80s that lead to the proliferation of Big Farms. Unfettered capitalism meets food production.

lol. He’s not trying to do any such thing. He and the GOP have been trying to block public warning labels about glyphosate, AT THE STATE LEVEL so the public won’t know about these toxic, cancerous chemicals. So much for states rights! So much for cancer! Three cheers for profits.

BAM! They got rid of glyphosate! Do you see "glyphosate" on any labels? Nope? well then, America is healthy again! /s

I have been saying this repeatedly. The Trump EPA policies fly in direct opposition to MAHA goals. Furthermore, RFK Jr is not over the EPA so while he can talk about pesticides, he holds no power to do anything about them. It is a smoke and mirror show. Stop just believing what is said and look at the actions. Has RFK Jr said a thing about filtering PFAs in our drinking water? You would think he would be talking about them quite a lot.

100% and not just the EPA, the pro-business arm of the party - which is pretty much a cornerstone of their platform. Republicans are the party of less regulation (unless you have a uterus) and pro-unrestrained capitalism. Our food is what it is because of these principles (not that the Democrats have tackled this since 2010 either - and that was more about the nutritional value of school lunches as opposed to targeting specific ingredients - but I do recall Michelle Obama's goals and how Glenn Beck/Fox News were very critical). I don't expect RFK to be successful and I can't imagine that he doesn't realize that. He might get 1 or 2 things removed from our food as a gimme, but those specifics are probably being negotiated behind the scenes with Big Food.

Everyone has been silient about pfas until about the last month or so. People only started caring about it when they figured they could use it as a weapon against MAHA. I'm not going to really complain about the motivation so long as we get pfas banned sooner than later. But we're not going to take our eyes off fluoride or vaccines, sorry!

Yes people spoke up when Trump rolled back regulation to remove pfas from drinking water. It was so obviously hypocritical vs their states MAHA goals that it became a big thing.
