RFK Jr and the food-as-medicine trope
Anti-vaxxer and brain-worm stricken RFK Jr has introduced, amongst his priorities, to make use of federal cash to get individuals to eat higher. From The Palm Seashore Publish:
“The former independent presidential candidate is a big fan of Trump but not so much about the president-elect’s fast-food diet.
“During an interview on “The Joe Polish Show,” a advertising and marketing trade podcast that aired on Tuesday, Nov. 12, RFK Jr. criticized a few of Trump’s meals preferences. “The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” he acknowledged, describing sure gadgets on the previous president’s menu as “poison” in some circumstances.
“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is, like, just poison,” Kennedy stated on the podcast, possible referring to Trump’s non-public airplane. You could have a selection between — you don’t have the selection, you’re both given KFC or Large Macs.”
I’m not a fan of the food-as-medicine trope, or its inversion, the food-as-poison trope. It’s the dose that makes the poison. No person dies as a result of they as soon as ate a Large Mac, similar to no one dies from baked items that include the neurotoxin acrylamide, no one dies from a serving of rice that comprises arsenic, no one dies from fluoridated water and no one died from mercury preservative in some vaccines.
However with RJK Jr, it seems his views are actually “do as I say, not as I do,” because the picture within the hyperlink paperwork.
Heh.
