A good example of how an over-clever inversion/contrarian headline can produce bad journalism. We generally know the reasons why Americans' health outcomes are in relative decline vs other countries. Virtually none of them are tied to RFK Jr's big hobbyhorses.

The failings of the establishment has left the door open for the grifters.
The 4th estate is dead
Kinda expecting the conspiracy crowd to get up to speed on this any day now, actually.
What is this thing we know?
I have guesses, but would like to know what you have in mind.
Bernie saying "RFK is right" isn't him being swept up in the vibe, it's him seeing this as a wedge issue in a political coalition actively at war with the administrive state.
A surprise renaissance painting appears.
See deregulation, lower corporate taxes, drilling in ANWR, cutting down forests, legalization, mass deportations, tariffs, border walls, bitcoin, Putin appeasement, tough-on-crime, and other ideologue cure-alls.
If advice is tied to the sale of a product or a service, it is always worth considering the source’s possible agenda.
My god.
In so far as "healthy eating and lifestyle" are ways to make Americans healthier and live longer, yes, that's true, but good luck getting people to do that en masse with Republican policy!
Indescribable grifting.
which is too close to mwaha
which is just evil laughter
Politicians are bad. So elect someone who will blow it up
Big pharma is bad. So buy my shady natural oils
Bureaucracy is bad. So privatize the whole lot
Historians are bad. So read what the $RELIGIOUSTEXT says instead

I'm not a proctologist either, but I know an asshole when I see one.
"But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you!"
I mean, I worked there. I don't remember making people sick. But maybe the Make Axios readers Healthy Again movement has something to it.
But the words don't matter - what matters is "Big media engages dude like normal politician, not raving loon".
If it's Larry in December @number10cat.bsky.social
"I will not comply" became "oppress me Daddy" quickly
It’s bad enough that his solutions are antithetical to the project but worse he’s NOT actually providing some new problem insight.
We’ve reached a sick point where the media can only even fathom a problem existing if it’s being pushed by some right wing conspiracy dumbfuck
I don't know that there's a metric that can settle it, so we'll just have to agree to disagree.
My only point - you said no RFK hobbyhorses address the issues responsible for declining US life expectancy. I think crappy food is a hobbyhorse. That's all.
