RFK Jr. Slammed For Apparently Fat Shaming Americans

[DStar777]

Does it really matter what a fathead like her thinks about fat-shaming people?

.. and is encouraging healthier eating and activity to lose weight really shaming anyone? Most fat people want to lose weight and will agree that overrating, eating almost nothing but junk and not getting enough exercise isn't a good idea. Also, it's not like RFK Jr is the first public figure to say these things:

.. and is encouraging healthier eating and activity to lose weight really shaming anyone?

It is if they are already eating the best they can and are fat due to health issues and poor healthcare and not laziness.

.. yes because that's what a public effort to improve our health is doing.. shaming the small minority of folks that do their best and still can't lose weight (sarcasm off now.. just in case you couldn't tell).

The early 60's .. over 60 years ago.. Uncle JFK did this:

The Federal Government Takes on Physical Fitness

In the years just after World War II, concerns about the fitness of US citizens, especially the young, attracted national attention. Several trends and developments in the country lay at the root of this anxiety. The nation's economy had changed dramatically since the beginning of the century...

I am not thrilled with Trump’s selection of RFK, Jr.

Even so, RFK, Jr. isn’t wrong about he general health concerns of Americans nor about the relatively unhealthy additives (etc) we have foods.

Maybe our major food producers should be leaned on to make our foods less dependent on chemical processing for things like texture and color and sweetness.

He's there for a job; SCIENCE BASED MED TESTING with proper stuff in our/your tucker. He'll get to the bottom of the MRNA (Brilliant technology IF PROPERLY TESTED) debacle. We'll see how he goes.

That probably has more to do with you minding your own fucking business rather than you telling someone what they already know, Gladys.

Well, I don't listen to you. So I can tell people in the real world to lose weight.

We are too fat. I have heard very angry responses from fat people when I tell them to lose some weight.

Do go around telling complete strangers this?

Do go around telling complete strangers this?

Hopefully not. Hopefully it's out of concern for friends and family members.

Then don't be surprised or complain if people react negatively, little lady...

So you say...

 

[DakotaKai_fan20]

I don't misgender you.

Yes, you do liar. You call April a man and me a female. We are the opposite genders you say we are.

 

[Road Runner]

I don't misgender you.

Did I specifically say you?

How is he fat shaming Americans? America as a whole is a very unhealthy country so is that truth offensive or something?

Fat shaming the individual is really bad because the person already knows he/she is fat and hates it. Embarrass him/her and he/she will likely later take comfort with more food, most likely junk/unhealthy food.

But pointing out that Americans are as a society much heavier than is healthy and much sicker than the populations of other developed countries and a lot of developing countries mainly because of our American diet is the responsible thing to say, do, use policy to address. And it is high time that we did address it. Hidden poisons/toxins in our food supply should be banned. No mandates for any group, but keep pushing what we know is good for us based on the BEST SCIENCE AVAILABLE and not what some small study done for some student's PhD dissertation came up with.

I am not a professional dietician but have had to learn a LOT about dietary concerns because of the plethora of dietary program among people who are often at our table for meals. And I get sick and tired of those who put out information to 'avoid nightshade' vs those who recommend the nightshade veggies, avoid coffee vs a cup or two of coffee in the mornings has health benefits for many, avoid all saturated fat vs some saturated fat is necessary for complete health etc. etc. etc.

I would like our government, if it is going to address the food supply at all, do so with the best possible science--as JFK Jr puts it 'the gold standard of science'--rather than accommodating big business that doesn't want to clean up its act.

I acknowledge that I'm fat and I've already lost about ten pounds. Give or take. After cutting back on the junk food that is.

And you got RFK Jr. to thank for that. Without him you would just keep on eating shit.

Yes, you do liar. You call April a man and me a female. We are the opposite genders you say we are.

If I ever "misgendered" RR, it was before she made her gender known to me, so saying that I do not misgender her is not a lie.

As for you, it amuses me to do so. Now quit crying.

In almost eighteen years, that is by far the dumbest, most feminine response I have ever seen delivered by any member of this board.

Shut up Dale.
