Fun fact: RFK jr plans to ban most of the ingredients of the junk food he is currently eating

[–] WhatsHerBucket 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That’s because most places don’t serve raw milk… yet.

Isn't there a huge outbreak of salmonella or something because the maga sheep all dutifully followed RFKs raw milk nonsense?

“The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” he said on [a] podcast, in an episode that aired Tuesday. “Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is like just poison. You have a choice between—you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s when you’re lucky and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”

-- RFK Jr. a few days ago

Edit: to be fair, his expression in this picture does make him look more than a little disgusted

Oh my god for a second there I almost felt empathy for him. The feeling passed quickly though.

Wait, that almost makes him sound reasonable, please let him continue:

"I don't have anything against fast food. I'm against food that has seed oils."

Ok there is the crazy. Deep fried fast food with high sodium isnt good for you.

[–] paraphrand 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So he’s proposing banning seed oils and similar?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yes he is, he wants to ban high fructose corn syrup and a lot of other things too

We're going to see how that plays in Congress. Way too many special interests.

I’d be okay with HFCS restrictions tbh. I wish I could get that without his other insane shit though
