I also believe most of the tech guys will ditch RFK’s ideas once we start getting into implementation details. Who exactly is enforcing all these rules on food companies about additives/ultra processed foods that are core to the platform? The 3 letter agencies this group crows constantly about getting rid of and say overreach? Who decides what is good and bad? Are you prepared to lose your right to make unhealthy choices? Or be forced to exercise? Exercise mandates a la seatbelt law? It’s easy to be “for health” in the abstract. Less easy to think of solutions that follow our liberal traditions.

I’m not even in your country but as a chronically sick person this irritates me no end. Who in their right mind would believe this is even possible let alone their actual intention.

Many other countries do take a more paternalist view on health. The ideas I list above are extreme, but even for more moderate ideas the US does not have the will to implement them. Things like front of package nutrition labels, or capping sodium in food. Both of those are very normal in other countries. Being pro health is anti business (you have to make your food product more expensive and less palatable by law, or less attractive to purchase via warning labels) and can be anti liberty in the extreme.

It’s fighting a losing battle. Makes me so sad.
