Progress is progressive

the MAHA report exists to extroll the virtues of RFK.

Most interesting that every time RFK extrolls the virtues of the

Commander in Chief, MAHA'ers are totally silent or worse...

Parents limiting screen time when their kids are younger, will prevent the children from developing worse habits and unnecessary obsessions as they grow into adulthood.

Mostly performative - or "virtue signaling" as they say.

"The MAHA Act requires at least 40 hours of nutrition and metabolic health coursework for Iowa medical school graduates, effective 2028," because it's not like the American Association of Medical Colleges doesn't already mandate a couple of hundred hours of endocrinology and metabolism instruction and even more gastroenterology coursework - Before all of their mandated clinical rotations.

As a registered dietitian, I have to disagree with you. Courses in endocrinology, microbiology or even gastroenterology do not prepare physicians for the responsibility of ordering the correct diets for their patients. They need nutrition and diet therapy courses which have not been required in medical schools to date. It is a nightmare as a dietitian to have to constantly be contacting a hospital physician to correct the diet they have ordered incorrectly for their patient (or the tube feeding or the parenteral nutrition). And no diet instruction is being given in the office setting, which could save many patients from the negative consequences of their choices. We are finding that the old adage “you are what you eat” is very true.

Rootster is a fool, a nasty fool. Checked out his assertions.

Characterizing him a fool is charitable, the title Dolt is more accurate.

You may be a registered dietitian so you do have ed. The point you make is that "physicians" are totally clueless on what causes health, like the "patients" they serve.

Find it pathetic that so called higher ed is mostly a pay to play scheme for corporate interests. If people have zero knowledge about health then they have half dug their own graves. MAHA recently held a TX barbecue in some bizaree attempt to rebrand

itself. RFK was there, but looked miserable.

I never meant to imply that physicians are clueless about health. Are you kidding me?! They are the ones who have to diagnose the health issues their patients are dealing with. They just haven’t been trained in the proper diet prescription for each patient. Requiring them to take a basic nutrition and diet therapy course is only going to make them even better practitioners.

Not missed is the fact that MAHA credits the first lady.

Also not missed is the fact that DJT defeated Cassidy simply by endorsing the other

candidate. EVERY ONE of DJT's endorsements won. Do Reread many times.

Credit where it is due!!! Had zilch to do with MAHA.

Now about that health directive. A forklift picking up a skid of commercial eggs from chickens caged their whole lives is really bad signalling. Who is that clueless?

But yet, you allowed only medical exemptions and banned religious exemptions

Iowa is in love with glyphosates, how well do you think that's actually gunna go?
