I would like to address the real controversy in this photo, which is the state of Musk’s fries in the image. Now I have read comments from people not understanding why Musk has put ketchup on his fries like that, because it renders them impossible to pick up like a normal human. Now, while I’m not arguing that Musk IS a normal human, I will tell you where that behaviour is not totally bizarre, and that is Canada, where many people will eat their fries with a fork anyway because you’re putting gravy on them, or maybe gravy and ketchup like a complete raving loon (hey, it’s my mom!). If you’re already habitually eating your fries with a fork, either because of gravy or total Poutineization or whatever the hell abomination it is when you use both gravy and ketchup, then you don’t care if you put ketchup on the ends like a complete sociopath.
I bet compulsive eating, alcoholism, drug addiction, obesity, and all that stuff would decrease if in this land of the free and home of the brave so many people weren't living paycheck to paycheck and wondering what godawful thing is going to happen to them if they get sick or old.
Healthy food will be rotting on the trees, in the ground, on the vine, over ripe produce with no skilled, caring workers to pick it. Fewer drivers to transport it, fewer people to pack it, less line cooks to prepare it, idiots R US. 💔
To be fair, nobody at that table, not Trump, not Musk, not evil Kennedy has actually taken a bit out of anything on that table, except for Junior, and I forget if he's the stupid Trump or is that his brother. In any case we should have a national boycott of McDonald's, the breakfast of dictators.
Will someone please tell Bobby Jr about poor people who live in food deserts, without cars to drive to a Whole Foods or enough money to pay for "salad" there? People who live in places where the only cheap forms of exercise, walking or jogging, can get you shot? People who share tiny apartments with too many relatives to engage in yoga or jazzercise or whatever because there's no space or privacy?
Lesser Kennedy has never been fat, if I remember correctly. Like most sociopaths, he lacks the empathy to imagine the crippling shame we fat people feel exercising in front of spectators--who feel emboldened to heckle and compound that shame. He displays as well a fatal inability to listen to those who HAVE empathy, experience, or data. He should never get this job.
I know this is probably unnecessary, but I just have to chime in with the local knowledge:
"Kennedy claimed that Novo Nordisk, which makes Ozempic, doesn’t market the medicine in its home country of Denmark, where “they do not recommend it for diabetes or obesity; they recommend dietary and behavioral changes.”"
I'm *from* Denmark, and just within my circle of acquaintances there's at least a handful of people that I know are using Ozempic to lose weight. Which of course makes it likely that there are more who I don't know about. I'm sure it's correct that the *first* recommendation from the Health Authority for obesity and (type 2) diabetes is exercise and healthier eating, but it's certainly not "instead of" any other interventions - for example, I also know a couple of people who had stomach reduction surgery (on the public dime, no less) back before Ozempic became available.
If just telling people to eat less/ eat healthier and exercise more WORKED we wouldn't have an obesity/diabetes/ heart disease epidemic, would we? I am, however, ALL IN on making sure everyone has good, healthy food (along with housing, healthcare and education) but then, I'm a socialist. Somehow, I doubt the fascists will agree to anything that benefits the lower orders.
Choice between roadkill and McDonald's isn't difficult, even though I've never eaten there by choice, only as a backseat passenger in the drive through.
One of the neighbor's chickens got hit by a car and then run over by several other cars and trucks (and perhaps farm equipment). Mr. Capel scooped it up with a shovel and took it to Mrs. Capel, who was feeding the pigs, and said, "Sally, we're having pressed chicken for dinner tonight."
AN OPEN LETTER TO ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.

Also, Jared, how exactly will Corey or you or anyone else "push back" on RFK Jr's "personal opinions" once he is installed at HHS you fucking twit.
THey better not take the Antidepressants and behavioral drugs away.
I can think of few better uses for a plane crash.

Ta, Gary. I've been studying healthy eating for well over 50 years. Junior should fuck off and DIAF.

That family is Fredos all the way down, man!
RFK Jr. looks like the grandpa in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I'm surprised he didn't poach Ladopa, DeSantis's Surgeon General. It would have been a big FU to Ron, and he's just as crazy as RFK, Jr.
What's that? You want me to look at this pic of Ladopa?
Oh.

Sure he will!
And McDonald's will be grateful....

Of course not....because that might cost the oligarchs a some of their precious dollars.
