The extreme shift in this board from libertarian-ish around the "Tea Party" to full on fricking Nanny State leftism has been a sad development to see.

Leftist economics

Leftist arguments to expand regulations to promote the nanny state

What's next?

Super easy for him to start. Immediately work with the USDA to ban the purchase of all of these items through SNAP.

That will put a huge dent in those companies pockets and force them to change.

Nah, that's where you and I are different. I don't look at a poster's name and assume everything he posts is wrong.

With the exception of Lester Earl...

I may disagree with someone 75% of the time but that means I agree with him 25% of the time.

I use my own experiences and education to determine what my opinions are and not just let what someone else thinks determine how I believe.

That would be very lazy, IMO.

I'm reminded of one of my old bosses who once proposed a change in company policy and was asking his division heads to opine on his proposal. I thought the proposal was a bad idea and spoke up to say so and ended my disagreement with an apology for disagreeing with the boss.

He looked at me and said, "If you and I agree with each other 100% of the time then one of us isn't needed." I've lived by that principle...

HFCs is fricking horrible for the body. As I said previously unlike sucrose it can only be metabolized in the liver and furthermore the body shuts down all metabolic processes to metabolize it. Fructose and Sucrose are both sugars but the human body does not treat them as equals.

This is flat out wrong

Sucrose is made of Gluctose and fructose. Have you ever taken a chemistry class?

There is little to no difference in how your body processes HFCS and Sugar.

I say that as someone who comes from a family that owns sugar mills

biden did a fine job reducing the amount of junk food consumed, really...

A box of cereal now holds 45 % the volume. Chips, candy, all have been reduced in like fashion. Thats measurable progress

Why do I suspect you’re in the corn industry?

Don't use ad hominems if you want a serious exchange, it just makes your stance seem weak.

But to answer your question, I'm against corn ethanol, OK?

So are we banning honey?

People need to learn to eat healthy. I don't take in a lot of sugar, so I don't worry about some HFCS in my ketchup - I don't eat cups of it. I use Peanut butter with no added sugar, drink only dry wines, and on and on.

People should cut down on sugary drinks, and sugar filled snacks/foods, regardless the kind of sugar. And so on.

Protect that man!

I don't agree with everything says, but RFK seems genuine.

And I'm all for better quality food. We've been shat on for too long by these corporations when it comes to food. They'll have healthier stuff for other countries and give us the bullcrap.

I have zero trust in govt to do this without fricking it up. The power we celebrate today is used against us in 4 years.

They want to ban poisonous ingredients, not random food because it isn't avocados and grapes. If you can ban ANY poison from being in food, why not all? You can have a sugary, chocolatey, whatever, without eating chemicals dyes, can you not?

The is government overreach, and then there is common sense. Some of you sound like you'd prefer anarchy, where we have so much "liberty" that we have no laws at all. Oh but I know you don't really feel that way. You want laws where it makes sense. But somehow, banning poison from our food isn't common sense. Do you not realize that this is exactly what it looks like to be "conditioned"? Cancer cases are WAY up, yet people don't smoke like they used to, and we supposedly have such advanced medicine now. What gives? I don't know, could it be that crap we've been eating for decades while being told it's perfectly fine?

You know RFK isn't the one who discovered this problem right? I've heard about this for years from people who are much more qualified than any person in this thread. RFK is simply showing the guts to say it out loud in front of the nation.

Making the argument that the other poster made that if Obama had appointed him we'd all be going nuts might sound good on it's face, if given no further thought whatsoever. Do you think Obama would appoint someone who wants to ban chemicals in food? Would RFK agree to work with Trump if he wanted to push an Obama agenda? There's a reason the democrats pushed him out. He may not be a conservative, but he's also not one of them. Last I checked, Trump used to be a democrat, as well. But then he realized that they were nuts.

But we can't possibly believe that RFK has realized the same thing? Not saying we have to agree with him on everything. But he's right about this.

Dont ban poison chemicals in food! - SFP and rogerthecucker
