Wait until they find out about the already higher the price of organic foods. That will be fun.

Wait till they find out about the reduction in pesticide exposure and air/ water pollution. That will be more fun.

Are they on board with RFK's request through his lawyers to put a halt on the polio vax while they do another unnecessary study? Is anyone at any of the other networks going to invite Itzhak Perlman and ask him what he thinks?

mbillips.bsky.social•72 days ago

Michelle wasn’t pushing it as an absolute alternative to medicine, just as a wellness thing. RFK is pushing to involuntarily remove people from SSRIs that keep them alive, with the notion that they don’t need them if they drink enough raw milk and do pushups.

saff313.bsky.social•72 days ago

If they take away my SSRIs I'm gonna be so pissed off... then really horny... then I'm gonna cry for 3 hours straight for no reason at all because my brain chemistry is fucked and I need those meds!

eileenfiona.bsky.social•72 days ago

But nobody on the left seriously objects to organic foods or active lifestyles, so what are they talking about? Did they find one comment on Twitter from someone with ten followers?

Michelle Obama wasn’t trying to bring back polio.

Americans when Michelle Obama said kids should eat vegetables: GET THIS OBUMMER OUT OF MY FOOD *drinks 32oz of soda in one sitting*

Americans when RFK Jr. says we should get rid of vaccines: So true sir! Make America healthy again!

Well to be fair they wanted to hear it from a white dude. They always defer to a white dude. Plus this is more of them saying it is people's choice to eat horribly without addressing issues with food options and cost for poor and middle class people.

Fox propaganda will pale in comparison when Kari Lake takes over Voice of America.

Taxpayers will be paying for Kari Lake to spew criminal trump's hate filled rhetoric.

Only in America, and 30s, 40s Germany.

I remember that wench making a video with her kids, a Big Gulp and candy bars as a response to "teach about veggies" and plant a garden.

sockpuppetpundit.bsky.social•72 days ago

Wait until you ask these same people about dedicated bike lanes.

2/ Here's Fox & Friends in 2012 doing a segment where a guest said that provividing healthier school lunchs to kids was "just another example of a federal power grab."

3/ I'm sure many of you remember this one!

Fox News "Medical A-Team" member Keith Ablow said Michelle Obama lacked credibility on school nutrition and exercise because "she needs to drop a few pounds."

He would double down on that after backlash.

bunnylove403.bsky.social•67 days ago

Michelle Obama didn’t even have visceral fat. She is medium build and muscular. BMI is bullshit because it doesn’t take into account someone’s body composition.

fyrebomb76.bsky.social•71 days ago

I also remember FOX News and conservatives in general saying MO "looks like a man" because they thought she was too muscular for a woman.

16rolynn.bsky.social•72 days ago

Keith Ablow walks the earth looking like that and has the nerve to make comments about Michelle Obama's weight.

🤡

Dude looks like shit and yet he runs his mouth.

robolo.bsky.social•72 days ago

We give these idiots too many of our fucks. Let their echo chamber cannibalize itself. We should only be caring to share information which is credible and worthy of attention. This detritus is less than pond scum.

yevkras.bsky.social•72 days ago

Keith Ablow looks like a thumb with worrying LDL results.

4/ Co-hosting Outnumbered in 2015, Ben Stein called the initiative to give kids healthier food "Orwellian," adding that it was "terrifying" to him.

justinbaragona.bsky.social•72 days ago

5/ Fox News hosts claimed that Michelle Obama's initiative to provide heatlhy school lunches was creating "mental problems," with Andrea Tantaros saying "we're creating a generation of people with eating disorders.”

https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-news-host-suggests-healthy-school-nutrition-initiatives-cause-mental-problems

justinbaragona.bsky.social•72 days ago

6/ Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier ran numerous stories about how the healthy school lunch inititiative was supposedly leading to job losses and out-of-control spending.

Here's one segment in 2016:

justinbaragona.bsky.social•72 days ago

7/ And here's Bret Baier saying "President Obama wants to take money away from your kid's school if it does not do lunch the first lady's way," as correspondent Leland Vittert describes it as "the first lady's much lampooned school lunch program."

My god these people at Fox are pathetic.

torrleonard.bsky.social•72 days ago

Thankfully Trump and RFK Jr are the picture of health….

hummingbird64.bsky.social•72 days ago

Ablow subsequently lost his license for sexually abusing his patients, and settle out of court with them. This is the least surprising thing ever.

heartmama.bsky.social•72 days ago

Look a bunch of ppl with zero medical training talking about health as if they are experts. Guess what? Plenty of fox views on GLP1s. Why? Because they work.

Surely hypocrisy is standard at Fox?

barbiedahl.bsky.social•72 days ago

Most of their audience are obese. Did they not see the MAGAt rallies?
If they think those people want to live a healthy lifestyle all of a sudden they are wrong.
Take away their Ozempic and they will be pissed

gadgetboy.social•71 days ago

He also fails to tell people that he's on testosterone therapy to keep himself "jacked." There's nothing wrong with TRT, but he's an effing hypocrite, just like the rest of them.

bchanson.bsky.social•72 days ago

Interesting. I guess people have never thought of “lifestyle changes”. That’s so simple. Why did I never think of that?

dharh.bsky.social•72 days ago

They have no actual ideals except power and money. Throughout history you can see this as they wax and wane on nearly every issue.

avery.omg.lol•72 days ago

Since when did Trump supporters start shopping at Whole Foods? 😂
