Elections RFK Selected as United States Secretary of Health and Human Services

Bull fucking shit.
In what way would it make a difference. Seed oils aren't more unhealthy than other fats, fructose isn't different from glucose on metabolism and food coloring only has an effect in large quantities. This wouldn't move the needle on the obesity epidemic and people would still overconsume.
 
As much as I disagree with current politics, I have to say that the optics of hiring someone that is obese as the secretary of health and human services are pretty terrible. That person may or may not have the credentials and be good at their job, but it just doesn't aspire confidence to the average citizen. I don't think JFK looks healthy either though.

Remove seed oils, fructose and food coloring and it would make no difference at all.
Looks healthy to me. He's like 70. Probably looks better than 3/4's of people on here.

 
Seed oils aren't more unhealthy than other fats
Seed oils are highly processed and due to being an omega-6 fat they cause inflammation.

fructose isn't different from glucose on metabolism
Too much sugar is a big problem. Considering how cheap HFCS is, banning it would most likely cause a decrease in overall sugar consumption.

food coloring only has an effect in large quantities
They say the same thing about Round Up. There's a reason why other countries ban the stuff.

I’m more interested in RFKs plan to eliminate pesticides in agriculture than his view on vaccines.
we lower crop yield by banning pesticides, deport migrant farm workers causing a labor shortage in the industry, and put tariffs on food imports making them more expensive for corporations to purchase from overseas.

When you say seed oils are inflammatory, and therefor, something, I am genuine curious about where you got that information. What does consumption of seed oil lead to and what does the data say on health outcomes for people who consume seed oils.

The thing is, we went over it earlier, sugar consumptions has decreased in the last few decades while obesity and metabolic diseases have increased. Clearly, sugar in large quantities are unhealthy especially if you're overweight and physically inactive, but I don't see how banning HFCS will make a difference specifically, nor that people wont have plenty of opportunity to consume other sugar alternatives. There is nothing inherently special with HFCS on metabolism.

I don't disagree with banning certain toxic food colorings, I think it'll probably make a modest, but not entirely insignificant, difference in things like some cancer rates. I just don't see how it'll have any impact on the main issue of the obesity epidemic.
 
so if there's a known dangerous pesticide, you'd rather keep it poisoning us than fix the problem?
Of course not. It doesn’t have to be black and white like you’re painting it.

Don’t ban pesticides. Don’t use them in a manner that causes harm to consumers. Stringent FDA testing and standards. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

You're blatantly biased and shilling

but you made it black and white by making it seem like the only outcome of banning pesticides is lower crop yield in your previous post here

why would you say that if you knew there are obviously bad pesticides we should be vigilant of?
it sounds like you're backtracking after knowingly engaging in dishonesty

Rfk wants to ban pesticides. That is bad.

I didn’t say the only thing would happen is a lower crop yield. If there’s concern over pesticides that aren’t being addressed with our current system of checks and balances then change those checks and balances instead of banning them outright.

At least they're trying to make sure you're not all fat anymore.

Rfk has some ideas that i absolutely agree with. It’s not the totality of his “platform” i disagree with.

-Ivermectin should be available for people so long as it passes all fda trials like any other drug. Same with hydroxychloroquine and nutraceuticals.

-I’m a big fan of psychedelics. I treated myself to a psilocybin Therapy session for my 40th birthday. Went through all the proper legal channels and set myself up for the next 40.

-I take peptides daily.

-fuck ya stem cells.

-raw milk? That’s a no from me, dog. There’s nothing wrong with pasteurization.

- hyperbaric therapy is fine.

-idk what chelating compounds are

- I don’t personally believe there’s evidence of the FDA suppressing vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, and exercise as he claims.

(I’d also put my abs up against anyone else in my age bracket on sherdog)
