So this disgraced loser swoops into save a damsel in distress (gosh,what a hero). Yeah, that's it! And then some stuff happens and oh by the way he's hospitalized but it's totally someone else's fault and we put the made-up hero part first because we're hoping you won't ask any more questions, okay

and the worst part is that, here in Helena, the Dept of Revenue has declared that our middle-class home, which **might** sell for the $530,000 it was valued at in 2023, now is worth $670,000, hinting that if we proceeded with an appeal, they'd probably find ways to inflate that further

and we on the left need to admit that, yes, mistakes were made with covid policy, but now we have data to learn from those mistakes. That IS science; learning where previous knowledge went wrong. Don't blindly accept assertions (eg, animal fat is bad) just because they've been repeated ad infinitum
D.Fitz in the 406 (@dfitz406.bsky.social) reply parent
We need voices on the left to see through the crap, on both sides. Dogmatically rejecting everything promoted by someone we disagree with is stooping to their level. Remember, covid vaccines were once championed by Trump, but, because Biden then oversaw their administration, the right rejected them.

Neither. Medical doctors get no education on nutrition in medical school, and nutrition science is notoriously fraudulent, funded by special interests. The Seventh Day Adventist church has been behind the anti-meat movement for literally 150 years. Sounds crazy, but it's true. (RFKJ is a nut, tho!)

...you cite were educated on outdated, heavily biased info. It's sad that author Nina Teicholz hitched her wagon to RFK Jr's clown parade, but she, too, was well intentioned. "The Big Fat Surprise" is a life-changing book that exposed the forces behind fear of animal fat. Don't fall into the trap.

In the same way that a broken clock is right twice a day, RFJ Jr, despite being a lying, glory-seeking nutjob, is NOT wrong about beef tallow. While I'm sure you at The Atlantic are well-intentioned, don't fall into the trap of thinking if he promotes it, it must be denounced. The nutritionists ...
