    US sickest country among peer nations. Liberals terrified that a new public health head might do something different.

    I love how rednecks are going to own the liberals with food reform… who is going to tell them?

    Yeah, it’s weird that you’re not happy with some of the stuff transpiring.
    It’s almost like you hate anything not originating from libbies.
    So Predictable.

    100% behind food reform, but impossible to change in 4 years after decades of bad policy. Let’s hope RFK Jr has enough influence to create lasting policy.

    He has to modulate his approach. The backstop to a good food supply is preventative healthcare and mandated insurance company regulations. If you dump the healthcare laws, allow insurance to do as they want (eliminate pre-existing conditions), the food supply will go back to being poison.

    someone has to be the voice of reason that not all outcomes are equal. Americans deserve a food supply that is tailored to their genetics and pre-existing conditions.

    So, I see you lower yourself to use this term to describe all Conservatives. A Bit racial and derogatory isn't it?

    Where did I say that? I implied the exact opposite. Food guideline reform will be welcomed by liberals and won’t get opposition just because it came from a now liberal Republican Party.
    Projection. The fact that RFKs liberal policies are seeing the light of day from conservatives warms my heart.
    The only thing that’s predictable is that your responses rarely tie to the referred posts.

    One of my neighbors is a trumper. She will go off on diatribes about how fluoride is a poison and how they have always been on well water and never been poisoned. The couple is in their late forties and just got full dental implants.

    Food reform vs lobbyists. What percentage of products in the grocery store are bad for your health and what is their proportion of shelf space?

    Where is that food pyramid put out by big corn, sugar and wheat. :)

    RIP Cheetos or long live Cheetos.

    No way the GOP pressures big AG and big food packaging to go healthy and impact their profits. I’ll believe it when I see it. Hope I’m wrong.

    I don't agree with many of the things RFK Jr. is saying but obesity and childhood diseases have definitely increased. So it is worth looking into to find the cause. (Hint: fast food)

    I'm very confused. I just had a post deleted in which;

    I cited an article from a legitimate, mainstream news source (CNN, I believe) which cited a quote of RFK Jr. using the forbidden Germanic N-word to either describe Donald Trump or to compare his policies to those of an Unspeakable Bad Person.

    Are we actually not allowed to post anything that has this word or this person in it, even if it comes from a reputable source and quotes a soon-to-be member of Trump's own cabinet?

    Signed,

    Confused About the N-Word

    Nope, quoting an article is just a way to get around the rule. Hope that ends the confusion.

    While the moderating here is good regarding "how" you say things it does get a little loosey goosey when it comes to "what" you're allowed to say. I think the N*z* thing is silly. What about calling colleges and liberals Hamas sympathizers? What about groomers? Those seem as bad as N**i's to me. Libbies.. communists... marxists.. socialists... lots of group names are thrown out there but I guess one is no no.
