It's why they say MAHA has reasonable concerns over stuff like food dyes. Even though there isn't really a lot of concrete evidence that food dyes are anything to worry about.

People half remember stuff about harmful food dyes and then say it's impolite to suggest that people could have bad faith objections to stuff

It's not even a matter of bad faith objections. A lot of sincere beliefs in alt health stuff are just simply incorrect.

"We can at least work with RFK Jr. on banning food dyes!" Why? To what end? All it would do is give him a win, while not actually materially improving anything for anyone.

But ... but ... real sugar in Coke? Fries in beef tallow? Those are game changers for the health of the country we can all get behind, surely. 😬

If certain people said 1+1=2 I would not say they were right, they just happened to say something that was not completely wrong

Sugar, in general, is bad though. Maybe there is some agreement there?
aug 24, 2025, 6:10 am • 0 0 • view
Agreement on what? Sugar tastes good. People should consume it in moderation. That’s it.

Thank you. Sugar is not BAD. That take always kills me. Sugar, in some instances, is GOOD.

For people who excerise/train there is an abundance of evidence that sugar post workout is the fastest/best way to restore glycogen stores and aid recovery.

it's awful when you want salt since it looks the same and then your fries are sticky and weird

Fantastic as a rocket fuel, just add liquid oxygen, for instance.

That Stuff is just making an eating disorder into politics, step one would be defining what it included and then why they were bad and how and then you would need to have stuff that could be done beyond the person buying food should have more money to buy better food

We need to get people off those horrible, factory-frozen reheatable pizzas and onto fresh, healthy hand-made pizzas.

Plus, he may *talk* about banning artificial dyes. But the Donor Class will prevail on the Administration to keep it in the talking stage.

Having a sincere belief in something that is probably wrong is worse because you have no excuse
aug 24, 2025, 12:24 am • 3 0 • view
Right, like - there are reasonable concerns about, idk, the overall health of the country and the food system, and the limits of conventional medicine (with or without access). But RFK makes all those problems worse.

Yeah, and making skittles less red does absolutely zero to make anyone even a bit healthier. Same with the kind of cooking fat you use to make fries. No variation in cooking oil is going to make fries healthy.
