...high fructose corn syrup, among other unhealthy ingredients? Can we expect an outright ban or is it more of an informative disclaimer that RFK is pushing for?

It is still the consumer's right, to buy what he wants, but a precise declaration of the ingredients in plain English is the minimum. I use my own natural Kalamata olive oil, totally organic and unfiltered, but also butter and coconut oil. I also use hamp oil. So, I would not appreciate, if the governments tells me what to take and what not. It is like everywhere, do your own research. And that said, I never use canola oil.
Exactly. Government is not supposed to be our mom, adults need to have the right to use even unhealthy substances, food or anything else. Just tell us the known facts, clearly. Rest is then up to us.
They have. Have you never read the ingredients on your food's packaging?
You still bought it anyway, so much so that every food company switched to poisons because you, the consumer, kept buying it, despite them listing their poisons. Now you want an additional label rather than the fixing of our food supply.
Congrats you've fixed nothing.
Heh. No, I mostly didn't. And when I have it's both MY responsibility and MY prerogative, not the government's. They just need to make sure the facts are easy to find, and no "authority" figures or publishing try to obfuscate those facts so that you could easily get wrong impression of the product.
The government has no f*cking right to tell me something like what I can and can not eat, regardless whether it is healthy or not. They don't necessarily even know that as they rely on scientists, and scientists are quite capable of being wrong. What seems like certain today can be proven wrong tomorrow. You should not force anything on people even if you think it's for their own good (with some exceptions, like individuals who have some sort of mental issues and can't think straight due to them...).
You should just give us what you think are the facts, and let us decide. We may decide wrong. But that is also our right.
Also,
You've heard of food labels and the internet right?
You could use this logic against rfk
How weird is it to be on a Q board and know that the government is poisoning you on purpose, and then turn around and say "they don't know"
Circling back to, you've heard of food labels and the internet right? Hey maybe you're right, it is America's right to all be subjected to poisons at the hands of foreign entities and all be fat fucks dying earlier and earlier every year because it's muh right.
I would assume with your logic, you support vaccine companies too right?
Lmao.
Olive and coconut oils are from nuts, not seeds
Consumers right to buy what he wants. Nobody wants to buy poison. It's our right to know if there is poison in it. If an ingredient is poison then maybe a skull and crossbones with the word poison should be required to appear above the name of the product.
Okay, so we should drop any and all lawsuits against vaccine companies because it is the right of a company to poison us so long as we purchase the poison right as it is our right?
It is the right of food companies to poison us because we the consumer have the right to purchase poison to poison ourselves?
It's not like food companies weren't listing poisons on their food labels. All the dyes are listed and other shit. So by your logic, food companies have done nothing wrong.
Absolute clown world approach.
Do you believe the consumer should be allowed to buy drugs like meth and crack? If no, why not? Poison is poison. One just kills you faster than the other. At least with the hard drugs, one can easily go an entire lifetime without ever encountering them if one wishes. With the poison additives, you have to be hyperaware of everything you consume. If a child does not have a parent constantly reading ingredient labels and monitoring their food, they are going to consume these poisons. This generation of children is the unhealthiest ever to exist. Cancer, obesity, ADD, autism, etc. They banned DDT when they found out it was killing the eagle population. Eagles had no choice in avoiding DDT because it was in their food source (fish). Children are not given a choice in what they eat, they are entirely dependent on their parents. Poisons in our food must be banned to protect those who do not have informed consent.
