Fun fact: RFK jr plans to ban most of the ingredients of the junk food he is currently eating

“The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” he said on [a] podcast, in an episode that aired Tuesday. “Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is like just poison. You have a choice between—you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s when you’re lucky and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”

-- RFK Jr. a few days ago

Edit: to be fair, his expression in this picture does make him look more than a little disgusted

Wait, that almost makes him sound reasonable, please let him continue:

"I don't have anything against fast food. I'm against food that has seed oils."

Ok there is the crazy. Deep fried fast food with high sodium isnt good for you.

Oh my god for a second there I almost felt empathy for him. The feeling passed quickly though.

That’s because most places don’t serve raw milk… yet.

Isn't there a huge outbreak of salmonella or something because the maga sheep all dutifully followed RFKs raw milk nonsense?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So he’s proposing banning seed oils and similar?

[–] Furball 5 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yes he is, he wants to ban high fructose corn syrup and a lot of other things too

We're going to see how that plays in Congress. Way too many special interests.

I’d be okay with HFCS restrictions tbh. I wish I could get that without his other insane shit though
