    Despite his takes on vaccines, he’s the one cabinet pick I like. He is focused on the toxic food environment Americans live in and don’t seem to want to acknowledge. I feel like I took crazy pills yesterday when NYT put out an article implying that weight loss had nothing to do with calories. It’s amazing all the mental gymnastics some people will do just to not be a little hungry for a while.

      He says that. And then he wants to remove fluoride from drinking water. This dude wouldn’t know toxic food if he ate a month old sandwich.

        Fluoride is worth questioning though, we don’t really know for sure whether it is harmful or not and science is increasingly proving that the risks are very real and maybe not worth the benefits. We don’t know for sure yet, but I think it should be left up to the communities to decide AFTER they’ve been given the chance to review all the current studies on the subject. It needs to be an informed decision.

          No we do know. Fluoride isn’t harmful in the amounts we have in our water. It requires orders of magnitude more presence to be harmful. This is the exact anti science bullshit take that RFK is famous for so it’s no wonder you like him. And if you don’t like Fluoride, wait until you hear about iron, zinc, and magnesium. I mean magnesium is a straight up fire hazard, it’ll even burn underwater.

      The problem is that his takes on vaccines actively disqualify him. They could’ve found any number of other people who could’ve promoted those types of healthy lifestyle without vaccine hangup.

      Oh and the ADHD labor camps. More people should be talking about those.

        I agree on that. Very bad look when he was pushed on his past statements and his answer was “P-P-President Trump”. Looked kinda pathetic to me. But I’m taking the bad with the good. I’m hoping parents will do the right thing and vaccinate their kids and that he will focus on improving the food supply in the US and tightening regulations for ultra processed “food”.
