Of course exposing ultra processed foods and doing something about toxic additives has wide support. I support this. This isn't the same as support for the nutter rfkjr. This Turd is seriously mentally ill. As confirmed by Greg Palast, someone who knew him personally.
Copilot: The consensus among independent public health experts, nutrition scientists, and global health organizations like the WHO is pretty clear: ultra-processed foods and many chemical additives pose significant health risks.
🔍 Key concerns include...
Increased rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers
Potential impacts of additives like artificial colors, preservatives, and emulsifiers on gut health and behavior.
Links between high UPF consumption and cognitive decline or depression in long-term studies. [end]
Lara Trump implies that "the experts" endorse ultra processed foods and chemical additives? But they don't. Not the ones who aren't employed by the big food processors.
acta non verba!
So far Robert Kennedy Junior's Acta proves he wants Americans to be sicker, not healthier. His stance on Ultra Processed foods and chemical additives are (so far) all verba.
Poor people with less to spend on food eat less nutritious food and their health is impacted. Yet the Turd Kennedy is defending the SNAP cuts that are in the big bullshit bill. He's making harmful changes (attacking vaccines, etc) but only talking about (so far) making beneficial changes.
This is the republican playbook -- make promises to deliver things people want, but then don't deliver them. Like trump with his promises to bring down food prices. When his actual polices have increased food prices.
His tariffs are the biggest non-wartime tax increase in American history. I seriously doubt that, if donald trump would have campaigned on that, people would have voted for him.
donald trump: "I'm going to raise your taxes more than any president ever!"
Joe Blow voter: "I'm voting trump because I want to pay more taxes! In fact, I want my taxes SIGNIFICANTLY increased!"
So where is the legislation to accomplish this? What legislation have republicans proposed? What legislation has trump said he would sign? Democrats would vote for it. Depending on whether or not it actually does something about the regulatory capture.
I predict there will be none.

🌀 The Revolving Door Rhetoric vs. Reality.
Kennedy has repeatedly vowed to shut down the “revolving door” between Big Pharma and federal agencies like the FDA and HHS. He’s criticized the cozy relationships that allow industry insiders to become regulators -- and vice versa -- arguing that it leads to biased drug approvals and compromised public health.
But here’s the twist:
He recently appointed George Tidmarsh, a seasoned pharmaceutical executive, to lead the FDA’s drug division. Tidmarsh has founded multiple biopharma companies and overseen the development of several FDA-approved drugs.
Critics say this move contradicts Kennedy’s pledge to end industry influence, suggesting that he may be prioritizing technical expertise over ideological purity.
🧹 Who’s Actually Getting Fired? Kennedy has overseen a dramatic shake-up at the FDA, with more than half of its senior leadership departing in recent months. While some of these exits may reflect his desire to root out entrenched bureaucrats, others appear to be collateral damage from broader political upheaval.
So yes, he’s cleaning house -- but whether he’s targeting the “revolving door bureaucrats” or simply replacing them with different insiders is still up for debate. [end]

I think not.
Big Pharma had legislative capture at HHS and FDA. Time to clean out the revolving door bureaucrats!
