RFK Going Full Stupid

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said Dunkin' and other companies will need to prove that their ingredients are safe, prompting Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) on Wednesday to reply back, "Come and take it."

Comments

Kennedy, while at a rally at Brazos Hall last week in Austin, Texas, said, "We're going to ask Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks, Show us the safety data that show that it's OK for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it.'"

What drink has a quarter pound of sugar in it?

I can only find drinks with 15 grams of sugar, not 115.

And even then, safety testing on sugar? I don't think those drinks are healthy by any means, but FDA doesn't require safety testing on ingredients like sugar, just new "additives."

Republicans are always thinking about how to protect teenage girls.

Republicans solving problems that they made up.

RFKJR and Trump are two examples of how too much money for too long warps a man and makes him useless.

Kennedy needs to follow Noem out the door. He's killed more Americans than she has.
