Broken clock
yeah curiously this is like the second thing I could actually get behind.
what was the first?
Think he wanted a junkfood tax? Though that could also be thought of as a poor tax.
If it works like Pennsylvania's soda tax and doesn't apply to people paying with EBT that would be okay enough for me. Lord knows I could use some outside influence to stop buying junk food.
Would be best to also subsidise the healthy foods to make them cheaper but no way in hell that will happen any red administration.
yeah. I think an outright ban on nasty chemicals would be better probably. No need to tax shit homeless people depend on for survival.
anti corn syrup
Yeah the other thing I agree with him on is bringing in Joel Salatin’s approach to regenerative agriculture. This is all about building up soil health and soil ecosystems rather than conventional fertilizer and heavy tillage.
I don't think a forced change like that is really necessary The only reason it really stopped in the first place is because corn is so subsidized by the government that it is cheaper and less work to just keep expanding land and planting more corn fields. Stop the outrageous subsidizing of corn and corn based products and it would make sense for farmers to rotate/sustain crop fields and diversify crops.
This "broken clock" is right a surprising amount of the time, just don't focus on the occasional statement he makes that the corporate media really, really wants you to focus on, they've deployed the crackpot strategy on a guy who really just wants you to eat healthy and make your own choices about your health.
He wants to remove approval for the polio vaccine. That alone is enough to say he should go get fucked.

I don't know what the hell that noise was! Did he say something or belch?
And yet Trump has been quoted as saying he is all in favor of the polio vaccine and RFK is not nearly as radical as presented.
Wonderful, his boss isn't as crazy as he is. And his boss is crazy as fuck in other ways.
Please, fuck off.
You are pitifully ill informed and intentionally obtuse.
Says the guy defending RFK. You can't make up this level of projection.
Anyone who pays attention to what Trump says and not what Trump does is a fool. Trump is a compulsive liar who constantly contradicts himself, and Trump never appoints anyone to public office for the public good.
We all know the traitor is lying about literally everything that comes out of his mouth. Just the fact that rfk would accept a position with a verified seditionist traitor tells me all I need to know about Mr. whale head hacksaw.
I'm not of the belief that the general American public has enough agency or wherewithal to make their own choices about health.
Source: Louisiana... in general.
Odd argument for a thread essentially about advertising to the public directly, instead of health professionals in trade journals.
You're right. They just haven't heard it from the right place, yet.
goes back to his crystal and sage healing appointment
Don't get vaccinated, btw. Heard it from a guy last week at the bowling alley.
You're not really making a coherent argument here.
I haven't heard one to rebuke. I've mostly just been making fun of you thusfar.
Do you have an argument beyond RFK isn't that crazy, just... some?
By banning, or even reducing the use of commonly used vaccines, he's going to condemn thousands of kids to horrible deaths and more to horribly damaged lives. His is not a job where being right 2% of the time is acceptable. And is someone only a crackpot if every single thing they believe is bullshit? Because that's stupid-ass binary thinking of the worst sort. There are some policy positions that are so destructive that they render a person unfit for any position of responsibility if they espouse them. And RFK has not just one of those, but a whole fucking portfolio.
He is a fucking crackpot. Anti-vaccine anti-science worm eaten brained idiotic moron who did heroin for 15 years straight.
Your heroes are insane. You are insane.
You need to actually listen to what he is saying, not what others say he is. Sustainable farming, eat healthy, limit processed oil intake, reduction of pesticide/herbicide/etc use....these are not crackpot positions, simply threats to the corporate status quo.
Lmfao. The traitor and his team are the corrupt oligarch status quo.
I feel bad for you. You're clearly not mentally equipped to handle the firehose of bullshit from this upcoming fascist regime.
That's a coherent argument! But only if you've suffered some extensive brain damage.
Ok but that strategy was very easy to implement
Fear mongering. Actually listening to what RFK has to say versus what mass media wants you to think he's about, very quickly leads to agreeing with the guy on roughly 95 percent of topics.
Nope. Absolutely not.
Source : I'm not a moron who believes his insane bullshit.
Definitely a moron though.
Still smarter than you.
Take it easy, dude has a brain worm
