RFK approach to vaccines alone should disqualify him. I don’t care about his views on salads or McDonalds. If fact those being considered issues during his nomination is why I am increasing coming to believe the vast majority of people are stupid.
Vaccines are one of the main reason most of us have lived to adulthood.

I get this perspective, but there are plenty of drugs that people basically have to take for life. The data on sustained weight loss couldn’t be clearer and the same is true of the data on long term obesity-relate moribundity. I think it’s a valid risk choice to opt for a lifetime of treatment via drugs.
The lowland countries have next level fast food. God help America and its obesity rates if we ever get ahold of bitterballen or, as it will be marketed here, deep fried gravy.

Trump White House rescinds order freezing federal grants after widespread confusion
President Donald Trump’s budget office rescinded an order freezing spending on federal grants, less than two days after it sparked widespread confusion and legal challenges across the country, according to two people familiar with the matter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s budget office on Wednesday rescinded an order freezing spending on federal grants, less than two days after it sparked widespread confusion and legal challenges across the country, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The Monday evening order from the White House Office of Management and Budget sparked uncertainty over a crucial financial lifeline for states, schools and organizations that rely on trillions of dollars from Washington and left the White House scrambling to explain what would and wouldn’t be subject to a pause in funding.
The people, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal guidance, confirmed that the OMB pulled the order Wednesday in a two sentence notice to agencies and departments.
Democratic critics of the order moved swiftly to celebrate the action.
“This is an important victory for the American people whose voices were heard after massive pressure from every corner of this country—real people made a difference by speaking out,” said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. “Still, the Trump administration—through a combination of sheer incompetence, cruel intentions, and a willful disregard of the law—caused real harm and chaos for millions over the span of the last 48 hours which is still ongoing.”

I am proof that it is very possible to eat only the highest quality ingredients and still be overweight.
And as long as we’re talking N=1 studies…
When I moved to India from NYC, I had been walking at least 5 miles per day from my commute, eating a sad Chopt salad, low dressing, every day for lunch, and eating fairly high quality ingredient based home cooking most nights. There was almost no fast food.
In India, my driver shuttled me around everywhere: weekly exercise dropped to zero. I ate whatever my maid gave me for lunch and dinner which was usually swimming in oil (leetle leetle according to her), and had KFC and Dominos is weekly homesick rotation. Definitely the most stressful job I’ve ever had, too.
And I lost 35 pounds without even trying in 2 years. Upon return to the states, put them all back on in about 18 months.
So I’m very suspicious of our food supply.

oh I'm sure the food supply is a major problem, wouldn't surprise me if it causes stuff like anxiety and depression too.
I wasn't really talking about it from as much as a health standpoint as a preference though, personally I'd never opt for it as long as something else was available.

India has gotten richer recently....and all of a sudden they also have a "food supply" problem.
and the wealthier urban Indians seem to have a bigger problem with obesity than the poorer rural farmers.
its almost like the richer you get, the more you afford to eat unhealthy food.

One of the key factors contributing to the chaos he's caused is his strategic overhaul of upper management, replacing them with his own team or non-political appointees. This move has enabled these individuals to impose unlawful directives on employees without facing any resistance. HOSTILE TAKEOVER.

There's definitely something to this. Makes no sense to me that my active parents who don't eat junk, basically the same foods they ate in the Carribean are still susceptible to same metabolic diseases. It's almost like ie an onion isn't quite an onion for mass production sake.
