RFJ jr is doing exactly what he should be and it’s driving ppl like Eoin Higgins out of their everloving mind. Link to archived version https://archive.ph/hmYyi

i won’t cast aspersions, but ppl who take issue with RFK moving “slow” do get a hairy eyeball from me. it took generations for things to get this bad. that means layers of bad policy, toxicity, and complexity—and he’s the first person in my long lifetime whom i believe is capable of fixing it. let the man cook.

People might just stop eating bread, rice, pasta, and cereal if it's properly labeled: "Contains cancer-causing pesticides and herbicides and other harmful chemicals and additives." I wish Bobby would promote "Victory Gardens" to battle against Big Ag. At the end of the day, it's the decisions that the people make that matter, not the regulations that government passes. That said, though, stricter regulations on labeling would help a lot to inform the public.

Amen. As far as I'm concerned chemical companies can be agitated right out of the business of making poison for our food and soil to line their greedy, nefarious pockets with.

The top US health agency has permanently fired 600 employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), according to a union representing the workers.

Many of the staff were already on paid administrative leave as a part of mass layoffs proposed by Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr in April, according to the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE).

The move from the US Department of Health and Human Services finalises employee firings across the agency, including the Division of Violence Prevention and the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, the union said.

Plus substantially better quality of life. Just say no to processed foods. Start throwing out stuff in your cabinets and work up from there

He’s taking on two of the most powerful verticals in all of America on our behalf. I can’t imagine how hard that is, we just need to have his back!

This entire situation is surreal. The people of the wealthiest country on earth ‘struggle to find healthy food.’ This illustrates quite clearly the breadth and depth of the corruption of the federal government and the enormity of the task before the American people. Like the pharmaceutical industry, the mercantile interests of the pesticide industry is literally injuring or killing us for profit, while politicians cozy up to these monsters like Stockholm Syndrome victims. What is stopping the public from writing to the executive boards of those creating the ‘American killing fields’, to make it known we consider them a sworn enemy of humanity. Surely anyone within the MAHA movement has the capacity to contact their local, state and federal representatives, to put on record their support for Secretary Kennedy and disdain for the unbridled destruction to the health of the citizenry. I cannot fathom a more compassionate, intelligent and courageous leader than RFK Jr but, we must be his army in this war against the ravages of the worst of capitalism. If we allow the continuation of legalized poisons within our society, we are doomed. Am I right?

I am in total support of what RFK is doing to help clean up the food supply. There is a reason that organic foods are such a growing market.... if people are educated they want organic..... lets educate the ones who aren't so we can ALL STOP paying for unnecessary medical expenses caused exclusively by those who want to continue selling poisoned foods. I am 82 and remember when food was just food and didn't need the label organic.... it was clean! Let's get back to basics... refuse to buy non organic and stop eating at restaurants who do not serve organic foods.

I´d like to share an article by Charles Eisenstein, who used to work with RFK Jr during his campaign, on the topic:

IF organic remains organic we have a chance but if bill gates can put appeal in organic food, we are a mess, this would be worse then when Kenney took office, also YOU PROMISED NOT TO ‘APPEASE’ WE TRUST YOU . WHAT IS HAPPENING ? what do you mean 'appease' no . get our Land back from Bill Gates Hoarder/ and China, and make farms great again. Have clear guidelines for organic at least!...... oh my goodness it is a shock that appeal got thru on your watch. what is the deal ! i see Michelle Pfeiffer and other people taking it on I hope you're doing something about this. It's insane that we even have to have this conversation.

Japan has just formally accused Bill G of genocide due to widespread children death post Quax. He will not be capable of making this problem disappear. Expect trickle down effects stateside very soon.

A splendid expose, John Klar-- you hit the nail on head in describing Bobby being between a really CK and a hard places-- between Big Ag/Big Pharma (what's the difference ?!) and financially-captured farmer's who exist on the edge, beholden to subsidies, pesticide use, seed slavery, GMO genocide et al.

But, people expecting the quick fix need to hold onto their pants. I surely want the stop of pesticide use across the board (& I am confident it will happen one day). ALL farmers need to wake up to the BIG trap they've been stuck in, and do all they can to divest yourself from it, wean yourselves off that poisonous teat that forces you to grow poisonous food that poisons everyone-- YOUR CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN first and foremost‼️

Don't buy into these false accusations & assaults that the HHS Secy. doesn't know what he is doing, &/or isn't acting in the interests of our nation's food Producers. You all should know by now, in following the seasons as farmer's, that things take time to grow & mature into a successful harvest. So too, Secy. Kennedy's efforts on your behalf-- which IS part and parcel of working tirelessly to make America healthy again. Reorient your methods to regenerative, organic, agriculture is a huge step you all can take to cooperate with his service.

Lastly, I want to thank all the farmers who are already doing that-- thank you for the healthier, pesticide/gmo-free food you send to market, to feed our nation!👍

In my area there is a farm couple who had a wonderful idea. They have a weekly delivery service of fresh organic veg. They have engaged other organic growers to get invoolved as well. Customers like me can choose to subscribe to a large, medium or small box of fresh veg $50, $35, and $25 to be delvered to your door every week or every other week. I’m sure this is a boon to local farmers as well as clients who want to have fresh Organic veg in their fridges without going to the grocery store.
