Why wouldn't he...Judging by his physique he's personally invested in health concerns at this stage in his life.
A huge one. And not just from food producers. The drug companies love this shitty food as well for all the late stage drugs they sell.
If he can, I'll be rooting for his success.
But I have a feeling he will get bought and sold by corporate lobbyists.
Wont be surprised if he starts saying high fructose corn syrup is highly misunderstood in a couple of years along with some phony science.
His stance on seed/vegetable oils is going to meet some harsh criticism as well.
I would generally agree that tallow is probably healthier than processed seed oils as it is naturally occurring.
In moderation though.
If you are deep frying, then may be seed oils are better than tallow.
With the understanding that deep frying itself is unhealthy to begin with, seed oils may be the lesser of two evils.
A quick search shows that Canada has about 20,000 fast food locations and the U.S. 200,000. That's a very slight improvement from a nutritional perspective given Canada has about 12% of the population.
Beyond food, there are other cultural and lifestyle choices that bleed into the issue of obesity.
So please quiet down and go back to your poutine.
It's possible but not necessary.
In any event, the Turks kind of play both sides in the region. I doubt they ever close off their airspace to Russian transport planes.
Again , it's about the additives in processed foods sold in grocery stores.A quick search shows that Canada has about 20,000 fast food locations and the U.S. 200,000. That's a very slight improvement from a nutritional perspective given Canada has about 12% of the population.

• USA: The obesity rate among adults is approximately 42% (based on CDC data for 2017–2020). Severe obesity is also more common in the U.S. than in Canada.
• Canada: The adult obesity rate is lower, around 27%, according to the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS, 2021).
Haha, if people brought up Trump the felon and rapist on this thread that would be copacetic to many.
Now go back to your poutine.
I said US and the west.
But yes. There are certain other issues that cause obesity such as genetics, endocrine and auto-immune diseases etc.,
Then there is the whole rabbit hole of obesity not being the only reason for heart disease/health issues.
In short issues where you need medical intervention and help.
Which a lot of Americans find it difficult to access and/or afford, unlike here in Canada.
I agree the U.S. has an obesity problem. I don't think it's as simple as blaming fast food, additives, etc.Anyone who’s been to a mall in buffalo does not need to go to a zoo to look at hippos anymore

Certain groups are prone to obesity. It's a lack of walking and exercise. It's a separation with our past food culture. There's a parenting aspect to this as well. Some of it is the relative affordability of certain unhealthy items that were a "treat" in an earlier time and now are common everyday consumption..
We weren't allowed to drink sugary drinks every day. We didn't have liter and a half sodas. We weren't given ice cream and dessert every day. It's not as complicated or diabolical from a societal neglect POV.
PS- RFK has some good points about our food supply. I just don't know if this will be popular with the people who stand to benefit the most.
I'm not sure we are talking about the same angle. From my experience, the West with the same access to fast food and processed food doesn't have the same problem as the U.S.
Yes.
Because the majority of the west has free and accessible healthcare.
The US doesn't.
