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

Absolutely not. If you can type on a keyboard, you have access to the same dietary info that dieticians do.

Dieticians are wrong. Where do you think they get their info from? They are taught and then push down the garbage from US dietary guidelines (and worse). But you want people to access the same information? Like I said, that's what's killing them. And this information is affecting people as children, messing up their health, their knowledge, etc.

The entire area of nutrition research is a disaster. Decades ago people at places like Harvard were bought off and told to produce statements that ran counter to actual science (that never made it into position statements etc). This is the information that is at these people's fingertips, the same stuff that dieticians get.

Saving incompetent people is how we got where we are. The nanny state is a direct afront to natural evolution.

No one can know all the things needed to optimize his life. The nanny state is not the root problem. It's corruption. That's the root problem. The FDA is captured, USDA is captured. Harvard is captured. The AMA and many others. The American College of Cardiology once published guidelines for statins that would have small children on statin meds. That is the information that is at people's fingertips - consensus statements, position papers, guidelines, etc.

It's corruption, not the nanny state. I'm not advocating for the nanny state, but the issue is corruption. There are a very few voices in the wilderness trying to upend this mess and it takes many people decades to sift through and figure out all the corruption and bad data they've been fed over the years.

Go look at this history and especially the problems in nutrition literature and get back to me about this magical information solution. And when you finish doing that, let me know how the typical doctor behaves when a patient says something like "cholesterol does not cause heart disease" or "this diet has too many carbs". And then go look at the nutrition block taught in places like med school. The system is broken, as is the information that underpins the system. You're asking people to go find the same information that the "experts" are feeding them and harming them with. That won't work.

A lady was on Tom Woods youtube channel a couple days ago talking about this. She mentioned how some papers were put together (systematic reviews) and how the authors intentionally put things in specific parts of the paper in order to obfuscate and massage the results. That's corruption.

I agree that people should be informed, but they must be provided quality information from which they can make quality decisions - not stuff that is akin to fiction, paid for and created by Big Pharma, or Big Sugar, etc.
