RFK Jr and the food-as-medicine trope
Anti-vaxxer and brain-worm afflicted RFK Jr has announced, among his priorities, to use federal money to get people to eat better. From The Palm Beach Post:
"The former independent presidential candidate is a big fan of Trump but not so much about the president-elect’s fast-food diet.
"During an interview on “The Joe Polish Show,” a marketing industry podcast that aired on Tuesday, Nov. 12, RFK Jr. criticized some of Trump’s food preferences. “The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” he stated, describing certain items on the former president’s menu as “poison” in some cases.
“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is, like, just poison,” Kennedy said on the podcast, likely referring to Trump's private airplane. You have a choice between — you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs.”
I’m not a fan of the food-as-medicine trope, or its inversion, the food-as-poison trope. It’s the dose that makes the poison. Nobody dies because they once ate a Big Mac, just like nobody dies from baked goods that contain the neurotoxin acrylamide, nobody dies from a serving of rice that contains arsenic, nobody dies from fluoridated water and nobody died from mercury preservative in some vaccines.
But with RJK Jr, it appears his views are really “do as I say, not as I do,” as the photo in the link documents.
Heh.
