Why RFKjr will fail.

[Woodznutz]

And government is uniquely qualified to decide what you should eat. Or, rather, what their lobbyists think you should eat.

I didn't say that, in fact I already recommended a committee of doctors and health experts from all over the world to formulate and agree on no more than a half-dozen health habits that would improve the health of everyone.

And then push people into eating as they are told.

Which doctors? Who decides?

You educate them.

 

[dblack]

You educate them.

Me?

 

[Woodznutz]

Which doctors? Who decides?

Doctors and health experts from all over who are at least 80 and in good health, and they must come to an agreement on the six behaviors. Six is an arbitrary number but we don't want to overtax the minds of people. Six should give the needed results.

If they don't reach an agreement, they all go home and forget about it.

 

[Woodznutz]

Me?

Definitely not you.

 

[dblack]

Doctors and health experts from all over, ...

Are you imagining we'd all agree on which experts we should listen to?

RFKjr may indeed succeed in removing harmful chemicals from our food supply, but Americans will find other ways to ruin their health.

True "freedom" means the freedom to make bad choices. That will always be the case, there is no way to insure good outcomes for everyone.

We also have the freedom to make good choices.
We need enough good outcomes to turn the ship around over time.

I qualified that. Our experts all must be at least 80 y/o and in good health. That gives them the chops needed.

All we need consider are the six behaviors. Following any one of them will bring positive results.

That certainly doesn't answer my question.

 

[Woodznutz]

That certainly doesn't answer my question.

You will have little to argue about regarding those experts. All will be a least 80 y/o and in good health.

Revisit my post.

Revisit my question. At are you imagining that we'd all agree on which experts to listen to? That Democrats and Republicans would agree?

It would be an independent committee, free from politics. No laws would come of their recommendations, only sound health advice.

Did you your type that with a straight face?

There are many such organizations, called NGO's.

 

[Woodznutz]

Only health experts over the age of 80, in good health, on a volunteer basis. Organizers can be younger but would have no input.

Ok, so you're not talking about government doing all this? Why did you lead with something about RFK?

What RFKjr is doing addresses a narrow range of issues. A wide range of independent experts and thinkers can propose more targeted advice that would be more beneficial generally. The only problem might be disseminating that advice.
