Kennedy is a germ-theory denier who believes people can maintain their health not by relying on evidence-based medicine, such as vaccines, but by clean living and eating

I fucking hate this timeline

Clean eating, like park bear and whale carcasses!

Don't forget to bathe in raw sewage.

No wonder he got that brainworm.

He used to pop the eye balls out of birds heads and eat them raw

  1. fucking why?
  2. how did you learn this abomination?

He's a sick bastard.

There's a three part Behind the Bastards on him that covers his childhood, young adult, and current craziness. I found part two the most interesting.

You know I'm part of a club where we try to eat one of everything to maintain our dominant position in the food chain, but he makes us look like freaks. And not the fun kind of freaks.

Even if he believed that, why isn’t he calling for more regulation oversight for the FDA and stringent quality controls on the food production supply chain as a whole?

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 26 points 2 days ago

Because like everyone in Trump's government, he is there to gut, cripple, and undermine the public's trust in our institutions.

Clean living in his view just means focusing on "natural" things. Which means swimming and drinking shit water is safe, but anything "artificial" is dangerous. So he's certainly not going to care about pathogens in the food supply, because he doesn't believe they are dangerous.

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 11 points 2 days ago

he in fact believes pathogens in the food supply are necessary to build your immune system

I wait for the new FDA “preferred partners” program

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This is all going to be covered by a snarky longform YouTube (or equivalent) documentary in 200 years.

Must be why he looks like he has a bad liver or too much colloidal silver, like some dumb smurf-hillbilly Hoosier
