The quality of our food is basically poison. It's possible that most of our health issues can be attributed to what's in our food. These issues can range from merely inflammation to coronary, cognitive, to even cancer -- affecting everyone of ALL ages. RFK, Jr. wants to fix that. Yes, RFK, Jr. also supports abortion, as do a LOT of people. He is opposed to full-term abortions. He did not campaign for the HHS position to influence national policy on abortion nor do we have any indication that he will be an activist in the HHS. As others have pointed out, we have the issue of abortion moved to states where it belongs. Focus energies there. Keep the Feds away from our personal values. Support RFK, Jr. to help Make America Healthy Again.
I know this is not the topic at hand but I wanted to reply to Whit: Well, no one wanted to eat as desired by M. Obama. Maybe that's because no one knows how to cook with the foods offered, you know seasonings, etc. to make the food taste better? Or no one realized that reducing fat and salt would allow the food to not taste 'as good' as it did prior to the change? Don't blame the food industry. They manufacture food that people will buy. No one is twisting arms. Also, no one wants to cook food from scratch, everyone wants to have food that never gets stale, no one wants to have ingredients that they cannot pronounce. Tell me why not? What is 'bad' about it? Until people educate themselves on what those 'awful' ingredients are and exactly why they're bad for you, then be quiet and maybe learn from someone besides some self-proclaimed expert. See-oils? GMOs? Do you even know why they are supposedly bad for you? Or, why they were developed in the first place or how much or frequently one should eat them? You buy the food you want. I'll buy the food I want.
As an answer to your question, yes, I am informed on the effects of seed oils, sugar, processed foods in general, insulin spikes, etc. I am also informed in the influence food industries have had on policy.
Moreover, I do blame the food industries for lying to us. They are in the business of making foods that sell. That’s why there is so much sugar in things. Sugar is addictive. When combined with salt, it’s especially addictive because it tastes so good. There is really little difference between the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry when we think about it. Dopamine. And government agencies have been thoroughly corrupted by both. So, you’re right, it is about knowledge. This is what RFK, Jr. is all about.
I agree with allowing people to eat what they want. Cigarettes have warning labels. Perhaps food should too. Maybe this includes tying eligibility for and cost of health insurance to dietary practices as well. Where we allow individual choice, we should have individual consequences, yes? Who do we trust?
This exactly! How much of the cost of healthcare is due to chronic diseases caused in part by our diet? And the big ag and big food regulations that permit highly processed “food like substances” to be sold and consumed?
Chronic disease may be exacerbated by diet but that does not mean everyone will get them. Think genetics, think lifestyle. Think about the length of time people live now. All of these are factors.
