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."

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

Heroin Bob has set himself up to get shanked in any airport within 300 miles of Boston. Already banned by the family from the Kennebunkport compound, he probably doesn't care, so long as he can find a toilet seat to sniff some substance from...

Does anyone here remember the conservative outrage and meltdown when NYC tried to tax large sodas? That was just a tax at the local level, not a prohibition or regulation of it.

Now the is a Conservative in the White House and you have RFK trying to regulate it at the national level and... crickets.
