Congress is lukewarm on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s plans. In the states, they’re catching fire. His Make America Healthy Again movement is taking off in red — and blue — states, even as health experts condemn some of his actions.

Blue states were doing this long before RFK and his madness came along. Ca. has had soda taxes in many cities for years. We have passed laws controlling the food served at schools. Because we follow the science. RFK, however, follows conspiracy theories and spouts bullshit.

By taking off you mean people are starting to swim in sewers? I didn't see anyone in Florida doing it yet, but I don't hang out with that crowd.

Are you insane? nothing in his plans make sense or are safe. If you think anyone is going to take medical advice from a 14 year heroin addict you’re just as insane.

It’s misleading to group blue and red states together. Dems are doing what they did before, trying to restrict ultra processed foods, cleaning up pesticides, etc. The red states are trying to get rid of vaccines and allow ivermectin and other unproven treatments to be more available.

Classic misdirection from Politico, as usual. Democrats have supported eliminating or heavily regulating single use plastics, harmful pesticides, and forever chemicals all along, certainly long before Kennedy's drug fueled conspiracy laden bullshit. Fuck RFK and fuck Politico.

Quick summary: Politico is using bills proposed, instead of bills passed or what the contents are about, as "evidence" that states are "getting behind" RFK's demented anti-health rampage. Politico is also using any and all bills that even remotely mention "health," so...

... if a bill were to be proposed that wants to limit the amount of a chemical used in food, regardless of who proposed it or what chemical/food, or the contents of the bill actually are, Politicos is going "SEE? Everyone wants to be healthy like RFK does!" Absolutely blatant bias.
