    My favorite was the guy “I want raw milk, but is there a way to kinda sorta boil it to kill the germs? Then we can have safe raw milk.”

      RFK Jr is definitely more worn food than brain but I’ve always assumed these things are just stock market manipulation more that true believers.

    Good bye, America.

    You are here:

    ROCK America HARD PLACE

    The rock is your overpriced, underperforming health “service”, and the hard place is your governments attempts to kill you with quack “science”.

      The US isn’t the only country with problems. Last I checked you guys have an AfD problem following close behind. The Deutsche Bahn problems are just another indication of the same neoliberal dysfunction that caused a loss of faith in government here in the US that might hit your country next if you don’t start paying attention.

      I’m not saying you can’t criticize the US, but if you’re not looking in your own backyard and learning lessons from our mistakes you’re no better than us.

        I’m looking into my own backyard, and i see the problems, but they are neglectable in comparison to the catastrophe that the US is.

    Okay, looking past the obvious stupidity for a moment, why is he encouraging FDA employees to “Preserve your records”? Doesn’t that go against, like, his entire post? Nay, his entire strategy (if it can even be called that)?

        But if they were, then they’d be even stupider to preserve them. It’s like he’s trying to bluff his way into winning a game of poker but then flipping the cards to reveal he’s got the worst possible hand before anyone else can even make a bet (idk, not my best analogy but I’m sticking with it)

          Aside from it being nonsense …. Destroying evidence is also against the law. Sometime the investigation starts with legally you must preserve all records

    Half that shit is crap or marketing nonsense with no real basis in reality, like fucking nutraceuticals.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutraceutical

        Nutraceutical is a marketing term used to imply a pharmaceutical effect from plant extracts, compounds, or food products that are claimed to influence health outcomes, typically as dietary supplements.[1]

        In the United States, nutraceuticals are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as foods, dietary supplements or food ingredients, depending on the ingredients included and marketing claims.[2][3] Regulatory treatment varies by jurisdiction, and the term has no uniform legal definition internationally.[4][5]

    To be clear, the current FDA guidelines on Nutraceuticals is that they have to be treated as food. This is loose because of people like Orin Hatch, who rigged the system for his daughter’s supplement company, which was also found to contain no amounts of some of the ingredients that were listed on the bottle. To make regulation looser would only be possible by not requiring supplements to be edible or by not requiring a list of ingredients (including allergens).
