There is always a nugget of truth in what these morons like RFK jr say. But as usual they always look for the lost keys under the street light. Because the light is better there. Unfortunately the keys are in the doctors office.

When is the last time a doctor ever asked you what you have been eating? Even tho what you are eating has a major effect on your health.

They can't. Because then they might have to prescribe a better diet.

Your healthcare plan is never gonna prescribe and pay for you to eat better food.

And all our nutritional programs are being slashed. Not expanded.

Enjoy the FAFO America.

FLAG:

"Diet and exercise routine discussions are part of every yearly physical with my doctors."

That's good to hear. Things may finally be changing.

Late in life I finally did get a migraine doctor (a specialist) that gave me a list of what to eat and what not to eat. Which of of course does nothing for me if I could not afford those foods. Fortunately I can but many cannot especially with massive cuts in nutritional programs by Dear Leader (to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy).

But. Your doctor telling you once a year in your 15 minutes of conversation regarding a complex system like a human body to "watch your diet and get plenty of exercise" is a lot like saying "thoughts and prayers for a healthy year"! Pretty much the same effect. Nutrition needs to be in the forefront of every discussion with the doctor. And nutritional programs for schools be and the elderly and disadvantaged need to be strengthened not weakened. And it needs to start when we are very young so we develop healthy eating habits.

Or we could spend our time and money to force Coca Cola to use real cane sugar and take the food coloring out of fruit loops and give massive tax cuts to the wealthy and call it winning!
