Really strange comment. You're offended by the implication that what we eat may impact our health?
Regarding the class comment, sure a access to some food is class based, but pretty much all westerners can afford basic "real food". I know because I've lived on minimum wage and could buy eggs, rice, beans, chicken thigh, etc.
Not the person you're responding to, but the thing that frustrates me isn't that they're saying to eat healthy, but that they're acting like that's the only thing we need to change, while actively deregulating pretty much everything else that also affects health.
Yes, obviously what we eat affects our health, I don't think that's ever been in dispute by any significant number of people (despite what the inbreds who love RFK Jr. seem to think), but part of the frustration is that they're acting that that can solely explain all chronic illnesses, ignoring things like air pollution (which they are actively deregulating).
Oh, also, RFK Jr. telling people to eat at Five Guys because they fry their fries in beef tallow is really dumb and is likely to lead to worse health outcomes.
I mean I guess I didn’t say it explicitly but they are saying “eat better” instead of taking medicine and doing it while medicine becomes increasingly less accessible by most Americans. So yeah. Also not offended at all it’s just patently stupid and an abdication of the responsibility of the government. The government regulates and facilitates giving out medicine and if what you’re saying is true it doesn’t need to dictate to people how to eat since it also refuses to subsidize most people’s meals.
