Muffin top Elephant size humans... comical and accurate. Clearly anything but healthy.

Correct weight individuals who suffer from Auto Immune "epidemic", Cardiovascular Dis-ease, Diabetes, or... Malignancy. The Medical Cartel has zero explanation, prevention, or useful treatment. Just saying.

Is there a group that rarely has these concerns?? Hint: they do not consume

slabs of dead animals fattened on GMO gyphosate dessicated grain.

"Real food"?

The pendulum swings, as the dog chases its tail

Glyphosate is anything but healthy. Regardless of who endorses it.

Gluten is but a fake decoy, just as the "genetic" cause for cancer.

Consider the professon that endorsed this non science...

It is impossible to "make" anyone healthy.

Removing toxins now as always the way forward.

Feeding the soil by definition is what "real" farmers comprehend.

Not long ago there were food "disparagement" laws to silence criticism for junk food

or toxic inclusions.

Organic has always the sensible choice. Hybridization, and open pollinated heirlooms

are the best possible choices.

Bring back Organic Victory Gardens...

Remember when RFK Jr’s campaign re-launched victory gardens? I signed up! (Then he suspended his campaign but I’m still gardening!)

It has been an adult life long pursuit. Now including fruit trees.

It just keeps getting better.

Wow, that beach photo from the time before processed foods is incredibly sobering to me—not an unhealthy-looking person to be found anywhere.

Truth Seeker's avatar

Morbid obesity without doubt is the opposite of health.

However normal weight individuals also suffer from a wide variety of morbidities...

Cannot assess health solely on weight...

Noël King's avatar

That is true, and I still find the photo powerfully compelling.

Hmm… isn’t it convenient that the “American poisonous diet “ has made decades of big pharma customers for gut issues? Of course none of it works but making major dietary changes.

llaw555's avatar

Excellent! Real ORGANIC food from small farms!!! There’s lots of information out there to help people find local farms of to have food shipped.

Kennedy is doing terrific on food and health! but he is missing some key points. This article states:

"The sickening part is… if we take Kennedy’s advice, eat real food and get healthier, there will be less demand for healthcare and thus, fewer jobs." The missing point - we need land tenure and tax reform that promotes land reform for regenerative agriculture, which actually is more labor intensive, hence more jobs. Shift taxes off of labor and place them on large landholdings based on land value - a land value tax shift. This also addresses wealth inequality. at its source.

“No-fault divorces, women’s liberation” are at fault for our declining health? What a dumb and offensive statement!

Me's avatar

The replacement of mom's cooking with fast & pre-made frozen foods are a direct cause of the obesity epidemic. Women in the Western world are not oppressed unless the choose to be under the thumb of cubicle corporations. Nothing more liberating than choosing how to spend your time while running the household.

Keep choosing to be offended 🙂 🙃

Mo Leish's avatar

So every woman in the work force "chooses to be under the thumb of cubicle corporations?" Is that your stance here? How about women who want to work at careers they love? How about women who have to work to support their families? How about single moms whose husbands passed away, or left them to fend for themselves and their kids? Wake up "Me", not everyone is you.

Truth Seeker's avatar

There is no "every" case. Women can choose to have careers.

That "choice" means the school system is responsible for educating

their offspring. Further it ushers in "convenience" foods...

Me's avatar

I love my children more than my own life itself. It's bizarre to think that a woman would choose to love a jib more than her children. I don't have the capacity to understand this.

A widow isn't the same as a *single mom* who made the decision to have intercourse with a man she didn't marry. Your redefining words doesn't change the reality of the situation. Please check your history knowledge & understand why & when ultra processed foods & fast foods became prevalent in our society. It's very telling that you chose to become very mad, as I suspect you see yourself in this scenario & your offspring are probably morbidly obese. I'll pray for your happiness & that you are able to love yourself & your children more than a job & Burger King.

Mo Leish's avatar

No, I don’t see myself in this scenario. I can have understanding for everyone in all different situations even if it’s not “me”.

You seem highly judgmental of people who make different choices or are forced into different life circumstances than you have. I am offended by the statement because it blames women for the downfall of national health which is ridiculous.

Me's avatar

It's completely the fault of the feminatzis. A job can't love you back. You are the judgemental one by being offended by words on a screen. We all have choices, some healthier than others. I'm only judgemental when being judged by chronically offended people.

Eat healthy or get sick, the choice is yours.

Mo Leish's avatar

You are the one who felt compelled to comment on my comment. If my opinion offends you then move on.

Marc's avatar

Feminazis ?! Me, this sentimental slob of a mother is calling feminists nazis !? Her true face is revealed! A (C)Rush Limbaugh disciple. He's long dead, and good riddance to him!

Marc's avatar

One can both love their job and their children. But I think children should come first. And they should be really loved, and not just "managed" as most middle class people do. You know, like turn them into politeness robots : "Did you say thank you ?". "Now don't raise your voice, can't you state your case reasonably?" My answer: " FUCK YOU! " . "Dd you do your chores ?" My answer: "No I did NOT do my fucking chores and I am not going to do them, capice ? ; lay the fuck off , mother dear and let me play ! "

Spare me all the crap about "hard work" !

Me's avatar

Unhinged rant, typical for unhealthy people 🙄

Marc's avatar

Thank you for your diagnosis, mommy. Have you hugged your kids today ?

Marc's avatar

Again , totally right on!

Marc's avatar

"Mom's cooking" ? Spare us the sentimental 50s bullshit.

Me's avatar

Sorry you were abandoned by your mother. I was as well. I decided not to abandon mine. You're welcome to come for dinner. Swedish meatballs & sweet potato, squash & carrot casserole. 🥕

Marc's avatar

My mother did not abandon me. She just hated me for no reason

. But even if she had not hated me , and loved me the way Mrs Cleaver loved Beaver, I would still find your "mom's cooking " phrase soccer mommy sentimentality.

But hmmm, that meal sounds so yummy ...If you lived in my city, I would gladly come over. As long as we avoided some subjects..like probabbly most subjects. :)

Me's avatar

I understand why she hated you. You can start to heal be loving yourself & eating healthy. The soccer mommy comment made me chuckle, because it's so far off the mark it could not hit the broadside of my barn.

I'll save you a plate.

Marc's avatar

Now we see the real you, Me. That not only are you excessively ignorant and sentimental, but you are a fascist like my mother. I deserved none of my mother's hate: I was just an innocent little kid, wanting to be free , to play, to learn. Not to be told what to do in an authoritarian manner by some fascist cunt witch like you and my mother.

Truth Seeker's avatar

The statement attempts to suggest a trend as a one cause issue.

However it is not without some merit.

Women who abandoned their children to the education system

while feeding convenience junk foods were collateral damage.

They also took up smoking and worked full time jobs,

for the "liberation". Family values were sidelined...

Marc's avatar

Totally offensive!

Alice Ball's avatar

No. Read further. It’s not women working that’s the problem. It’s the shift in society with the decline of the nuclear family eating dinner together. A divorced mom with 2 kids who works full time isn’t going to have the extra time to shop for groceries a lot of the time prior to food and grocery delivery. It follows. Try to read & absorb the point instead of flying off the handle in a feminist mindset. That wasn’t the point. FOOD is the point.

Mo Leish's avatar

Alice, I actually am smart enough to understand food is the issue. Which is why I take umbrage to the statement about no “fault divorces and women’s liberation”. The corruption of our food supply is squarely on the shoulders of food manufacturers, Big Ag, government mismanagement and “science” believing itself smarter than Mother Nature. It was corporate greed that put us where we are, not women. And that is true whether women are working, feminist, stay at home, etc. it doesn’t matter.

My mom was a so called feminist, single mother, who worked and also cooked dinner every night.

I’m sick of the reductionist and holier than tho attitude from the stay at home moms who are privileged enough to have husbands support them. You don’t know anything about other people’s lives and you should keep your thoughts to yourself and go make a scrapbook.

Alice Ball's avatar

I'm not a stay-at-home Mom & I wouldn't know how to begin to make a scrapbook. Being sarcastic gets you nowhere and makes you seem less intelligent than you probably are. I agree with every word you wrote about our food problem & where it came from, corporate greed. The BIGS--Ag, Food, Pharma, Chem, Govt---have sacrificed Americans' health for money since the beginning, and I blame Govt the most since it was their job to monitor this, and they sold out to the other Bigs for money too. I was not blaming your mom or any other woman, and certainly not single mothers. Remove the chip from your shoulder.

Mo Leish's avatar

Alice do you realize how gaslighting you are being? First you decry a “feminist mindset” and then you say you aren’t blaming any women. And then when you achieve your goal in trolling the comment section; pissing someone off, you tell me to get the chip off my shoulder. I’m done talking to you, there’s no upside.

Right on, Mo Leish. Tell these motherfuckers off.

Understand that as they improve food, they are now attacking the MILK industry - adding carrageenan to milk and cream, something that is inflammatory!!!! PLEASE encourage this to stop!! If you know of young people who are having trouble with their stomachs, this is the reason!!!

Truth Seeker's avatar

Cows milk is the perfect food... for baby cows.

A baby cow weighs ~60#'s at birth. A human baby ~7#s

One year later the cow often weights 1000#.

Last I checked the little human ~28#s.

Mothers milk for human babies assuming Mom is healthy...

Me Mcc's avatar

I'm with you on that... Nursed our child for two years. Human milk for humans! However, I like cereal in moderation. They also serve it to our kids daily... It's tainted at this point.

Truth Seeker's avatar

You must buy organic. No viable option.

As you point out carrageenan is to be avoided.

Me Mcc's avatar

Trouble is finding organic that doesn't also have carrageenan.

Truth Seeker's avatar

It is also true that organic certification has no testing for heavy metals.

Carrageenan is mostly used as a thickening agent in processed foods.

Best to avoid, to the extent possible.

Shout out to the Health Ranger. He has an ISO certified lab testing for

heavy metals. No one else is doing this.

Dingo Roberts's avatar

I'm not a betting man, but I would bet that the vast majority of the people in that crowd are dowsed in unregulated poison fragrances. Constant emission exposures, 24/7/365. When will MAHA even pay lip service to this disaster?

Truth Seeker's avatar

Certainly a piece of the puzzle.

Debbie Ericson's avatar

Not sure where the pyramid of photographed food came from as the USDA pyramid is food as art on paper. The food photograph has processed meat on the cheese tray. That is not a recommended food quite the opposite. The bread photographed is not whole grain bread. It is white bread loaf not made with whole grains and a hamburger bun with sesame seeds on top. Those seeds do not make it a whole grain bread. The crackers are a processed food and have hydrogenated seed or palm oils they are not a whole grain bread. Some photos are not clearly identified as what they are. I am a degreed Nutritionist.

jan's avatar

What you see is Italian meats. Sopresatta, prosciutto. Minimally processed.

Debbie Ericson's avatar

No, They are exactly what we do not recommend. They are not Whole Foods and they are processed. And have additional ingredients we do not recommend.

Me's avatar

Who is *we*? Did you notice the placement of the foods you object to? They certainly aren't at the top. The same place that healthy whole foods used to reside thanks to Clinton & Obama. Smokes meats are fine & no one is forcing you to eat them.

Debbie Ericson's avatar

"We" are nutritionists and dietitians with University degrees that use the pyramid in our work in nutrition education. There have been new studies that demonstrate that the past recommendations during the previous administrations were not improving Americans' overall health. Processed meat: bacon, sausages, and even sopresatta cured pork are the least healthy foods to eat as they contain nitrates, high in sodium, fillers, and other additives. Nitrates are group 1 carcinogens. New studies have demonstrated the benefits of whole foods with high in absorbable amino acid protein foods at the top of the pyramid. Turkey, salmon, chicken, beef, eggs, shellfish, and dairy. Every food on the USDA pyramid no matter how small is significant to daily meals. There are foods photographed on a pyramid in this article that inaccurately represent the foods on the USDA 2025 to 2030 recommendations.

Me's avatar

Have you been in a University dining hall lately? The amount of processed garbage & prepackaged foods that are served are based directly on what you and your ilk were taught. I certainly would not act like this degree makes you somehow morally superior. Please tell me where the filler is in bacon. I buy directly from farms of the highest quality. The bacon is on smoked with no added preservatives. You understand that exists, don't you?

So go ahead and eat you no fat yogurt & I'll eat my homemade yogurt from full fat milk from an Amish farm. BTW, it's also low temp pasteurized & non homogenized. Do look those words up and have some more ultra processed sugar laden cereal that your ilk claims is part of a *healthy breakfast* <insert eyeroll>

Smoked meats are not fine, Me. That being said, I am not walking my talk here enough because I am still addicted to these pepperonis that I buy. But I do hope to become fully vegan eventually. Problem is I do not like to cook. I am impatient sometimes and waiting that hour or two for brown rice to cook makes me crazy!

And while I agree with you on this ,Debbie, arrogantly spouting the fact that you have a university degree does not mean shit to me. Big deal, so you have a degree! Are we lesser mortals because we do not have degrees like I do not ? I am an autodidact and goddamm proud of it!

Me's avatar

Don't go Vegan, that's a horrible diet for good health. I cook nearly everything from scratch, very low carb & I buy organic flour grown locally without added folic acid for when I make gyros & pitas. Need good fats & cholesterol for healthy brain functions.

WOW! With the help of MAHA we may be able to stop the sad, sick, and stressed lifestyle and start our journey back to happiness and health.

Good interview between Joe Rogan and secretary Kennedy. He addresses the glyphosate issued towards the end. Can find it on YouTube. The highwire on Thursday also addressed glyphosate.

Truth Seeker's avatar

Very happy to address the issue. The glyphosate crisis regarding human health is complex.

The worst issue is its acceptance and use sprayed directly on grains as a dessicant.

Those grains are mostly used as animal fodder...

Banning the toxic chemical would thus destroy the "meat" industry...

So, the carnivores would have a serious problem...

Kathy Boston's avatar

It’s the immunity to liability I find most concerning. And they need a solid plan to wean farmers off of the glyphosate.

Truth Seeker's avatar

Your assessment is accurate. Several 100 million dollar settlements forced

Monsanto to sell out to Bayer a much larger company. It also made it nearly impossible to litigate.

The exact same liability waiverprotects Medical Doctors from Vax and Quax (mRNA) damage. Liability waivers allow the corporate pig to fatten itself.

I think the comparison of the two photos of people from the fifties and sixties and now are a bit misleading. If you look closely at the black and white photo , they are all young people and the guys have mostly long hair, thus the 60s. And really, a lot of the babes would have been topless to boot ! Ah the good old days! And I bet that that by the 1990s these young people were probably not as sleek!

Me's avatar

Go to the cafeteria at any college & note the size of many of the students. I haven't ever seen young people that large. It's sad.

Marc's avatar

Maybe you are right about today's college kids in your area. But when I spent a summer as an adult , temporarily staying transitionally in a residence open to the public over the summer, at McGill University, most kids looked in pretty good shape to me. The only thing that bugged me about them is that they were all, of course, staring into their phones all the time. Look at me, my young friends, I felt like crying out ! Talk to me ! Look at the beautiful summer day!

And of all the college kids studying in my local suburban library , I don't think I have ever seen one that was overweight. In fact, most of these females are smokin' hot, and they know it! Let them enjoy their vitality while they have it.
