RFK Jr's FDA chief should probably go get some potty training instead of just spewing his shit for the world to see.

This is why you shouldn't touch any new drugs and any produce from America. Ever since Trump it's actually scary to use now unregulated American products.

Well that would weed all the diabetics out of the American gene pool in just a few days. I'm not sure diabetics are the real problem though.

Any pictures of this spliced with Trump and his fast food yet

Hey Marty! Every legal resident in the USA should have the same health insurance as you, dumbfuck. That would solve a lot of problems in 3rd World USA.

Wouldn't they still need insulin though? Even if in lesser quantities.

Not against state funded mandatory cooking classes though if it'll help people eat healthier alongside insulin, though.

Type I and II diabetes (mellitus) are different diseases and insulin use isn’t simple enough that diet recommendations (which every diagnosed diabetic probably already knows) are a magical missing piece for RFK Jr.

People with type I are deficient in insulin and it’s part of treating the disease right away. Insulin is used for people with type II, who aren’t deficient but can’t use insulin well, later in the disease progression if other treatments are no longer effective.

If a person with type II diabetes is on insulin, diet was probably treatment number one and has probably already failed or isn’t effective enough.

Check your privilege, buddy.

Even the sun shines on a dogs ass some days.

He's not wrong, he's just right for the wrong reasons.

90% of diabetics in the US are type 2. 90%.Our food culture is way out of whack, and we need to fix it.

Obviously diabetics still need medical care. But revamping the way we view food will allow many Americans to keep the amount of feet they were born with.

They get away with this shit because a lot of us don't actually engage them back in places that matter. Sure we all talk here but it's not like we're very visible. Right now, and for the next year, this comment will be shared on all other social media with a gaggle of agreement. But we will forget this by tomorrow. So they can saw say whatever they want really
