Speaking of Marin County soccer mom's , what is your take on Wakefield's study re: the link being MMR vaccines and autism later being retracted and proven to be a scientific fraud? Did Bobby Jr ever apologize for that one?To the point of different health outcomes vis-a-vis socioeconomic back drop, I wonder how @BearsWiin accounts for the real soccer mom’s of Marin County enjoying the only declining rate of autism in the country.Fucking Vanilla…
Yella said - Nail on the head @Doog_de_Jour The affluent communities are generally living healthy lifestyles. How do you democratize that?
That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? Rich people are always gonna have better shit, be it healthcare, schools, cars, college football programs, etc.
Things have been tried…
Food stamps/vouchers/WIC - I have no idea about the current effectiveness of those systems. When I was unemployed/broke, Uncle Sam always told me to fuck off - I apparently didn’t qualify at that point, which baffled me. I know they’ve tried to make it less prone to abuse (as a kid of the 90s many a political figure would scream, THEY’RE BUYING BOOZE WITH IT!)
Education - another dead end. How many variations of the food pyramid have we seen? Nutrition and Home Economics are non existent in most schools. We all gotta learn to code!
Labeling - Some improvements have been made. Consumers at least have a better idea of what they’re about to put in their mouth - even if it’s garbage.
RFK Jr. isn’t wrong in trying to take down a lot of this stuff. But as we all know, laws are useless unless they’re enforced. And who will make sure the food and beverage companies are compliant?
RFK wants to know.
The part the media intentionally ignores is that he is actually agnostic on which variable(s) may come to fore. His only concern is to know which ones to do something about.
