re: What do we think RFK will actually do regarding our food?

Vast majority of practitioners? We talking healthcare providers or researchers (or both)? And in what realms/fields?

I just want someone to explain to me how all of this is not leftism

Based on various conversations over the past week, I dont think it bothers them to be thought of as leftists anymore.

You want to breathe asbestos? Go right ahead.
The problem is you’re too short sighted to understand that our government AND corporations have been working hand in hand for decades to line each other’s pockets, grow in size and erode our rights.
RFK is literally trying to reform the institutions from within, which in turn gives the people more power over their own lives.

Get it?

For instance

It’s pretty widely believed that people who carry out mass shootings, are influenced by SSRI uptake inhibitors like Prozac etc.

A great example of the "kernel of truth" leading to faulty extrapolation (via replacing correlation with causation)

That sounds like something right out of a populist dream.

So your answer is more govt control.

Olive oil has been readily available in the US for better than a century.

He may be able to ban some of the more toxic food additives like the EU has done but nothing extreme.

And he will probably be more aggressive in labeling processed foods that have chemicals in them.

But your daily life wont change. It is still on you to make good or bad choices.

I imagine we could look up some old threads over super liberal areas regulating/banning things like, soda, and we will find some 180s.

Funny thing is via education and research, your opinions can change. I used to drink Mt Dew daily. Then switched to Diet Mt Dew because I wanted a “healthier option”. Then I learned about glycemic index and how artificial sweeteners actually impact you worse than true sugar. That was like 20 years ago.

Right before Covid and all through it I got much more aware of the impact of diet. None of this was taught in my nutritional classes back in college. I continue to enhance my knowledge base. There is no reason in the world we need high fructose corn syrup, processed seed oils and dyes in our food other than to make companies money.

Vast swaths of the medical-health-industrial complex - doctors, nurses, nutritionists, dietitians etc. - are trapped in a doom loop of the bullshite conventional wisdom of the past 60 years. So, yes, while ultimately it's informed nutritionists/science which provides our info, the problem is, the vast majority of practitioners (including corrupted scientists perpetually on the take from big food/pharm) are nearly entirely captured.

This doesn't make any sense.

You guys have a corrupted notion of how much patients actually listen.
