Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

From the same people that put DAIRY, RED MEAT and BEEF TALLOW at the top of the food pyramid. Oh, and emphasizes protein even more than the stupid marketing and gym-bro culture already pushes it, LOL.

Real geniuses at work here, people.

If they aren't just incredibly broken and brain-damaged people, then it's pretty clear this administration want lots of Americans to be sick and die.

They should be at the top though, right? Or is it an inverted triangle now?

RFK's group has an inverted triangle. Most people are going to read left to right, top to bottom. In the very upper left, the very first thing: a slab of steak. Next to that cheese, just to the right, milk.

On their stupid website, they say this:

We are ending the war on protein. Every meal must prioritize high-quality, nutrient-dense protein from both animal and plant sources...

Um, WTAF. There is definitely not a "war on protein" going on anywhere at any time in this country. Also, the idea that protein must come from both animal sources and plant sources is, well, stupid. Especially as we already can see things like the blue zones and The China Study. But I guess Big Brother is going to tell us to ignore the evidence of our own eyes...

This decrepit old dumbass with no qualification, no education, and no experience is now telling Americans that vaccines are bad and they should eat more animal proteins.

I just can't even. I suppose it will be a real windfall for those in the health industry if even more people are getting sick, not to mention entrenched agribusiness interests keen on keeping/increasing the status quo...

That’s awful. I’m sadder and sadder every day that this sadistic chucklefuck is tarnishing his father’s name.
