PM: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr announced on Wednesday that he will be requiring college pre-med programs to embed nutritional education into their curriculum. Kennedy has long been a proponent of preventing diseases in order to keep Americans healthier.
“I’m leading a team at @HHSGov, along with @EDSecMcMahon, targeting the woeful lack of nutrition education in medicine. We can reverse the chronic disease epidemic simply by changing our diets and lifestyles, but to do that, we need nutrition to be a basic part of every doctor’s training,” he said in a post. more
RFK jr is like one of my long time gym bro’s. And I approve of every damn thing he’s doing.
How will the Left argue that this is a bad idea?!?
I cannot wait to hear their hateful “logic.”
“Was there no deep fat, no hot fudge?”
“Those were thought to be bad for you — the exact opposite of what we now know to be true.”
“Sleeper” (1973)
Kennedy needs to make all schools have this program from preschool basics on up through college so kids can raise hell with their parents to buy proper foods and actually cook them where required to do do for the kids instead of feeding them Hot Pockets and similarly prepared, over preserved and minimal nutritional value foods. Families may actually become healthy again and force the food manufacturers to develop and produce foods with real nutritional value.
I vote no. This is not a proper Federal Government function, nor is it authorized by our Constitution. Picture, if you will, the battle that will ensue on who controls the actual instruction. Only recently, for example, has the Federal food pyramid been proven to be basically bullshit.
This kind of do-gooderism on a national scale is killing us.
Long overdue. Really frustrating trying to discuss nutrition with doctors whose knowledge of nutrition is limited to what they’ve read on cereal boxes.
When was the last time (if ever) you went to the doctor with a problem and he asked you about your diet and activity routine?
More than half of medical issues are related to those two issues. Doctors are no longer trained to think about diet and exercise, but just what drugs they can prescribe to mask the symptoms.
