Governments don’t fix; they wreck and destroy. From Joel F. Salatin at childrenshealthdefense.org:
According to Joel F. Salatin, an American farmer, lecturer and author, the U.S. can’t fix its broken food and farming systems by trading one regulation for another, one bureaucrat for another, one agency for another. So, what’s the solution?
With the national health crisis, food debauchery and farm exploitation suddenly jumping to headlines via Robert F. Kennedy Jr., numerous people have offered solutions but nothing I’ve seen truly gets to the heart of the problem.
Recently RFK Jr. gave his recipe but in general, it’s yet another request for government intervention in these fields (pun intended).
Capping drug prices, prohibiting research grants from going to people with conflicts of interest and reforming crop subsidies to incentivize healthier alternatives all sound nice. Eliminating SNAP (formerly food stamps) from being spent on high fructose corn syrup drinks ($9 billion annually) sounds good too.
Who can disagree with requiring nutrition courses in medical schools and demanding government research grants go toward holistic and alternative health approaches? All of this sounds good in theory, but how?
Goodness, we now have official government findings that Cheerios and Fruit Loops are more nutritious than beef. Who is going to make the kinds of U-turns within the bureaucracies that such changes would require?
I remember well when President Barack Obama was elected and Michelle put a garden on the White House lawn. My friends in the organic farming community thought the country would enter ecological farming nirvana … until someone said, “Remember, 10 miles of USDA [U.S. Department of Agriculture] offices will not change.” Therein lies the Achilles’ heel of all this nice-sounding rhetoric.
Epoch Times carried a full-page column by pediatrician Dr. Joel Warsh last week titled “America’s Health Crisis: Expanding on RFK Jr.’s Plan to Make America Healthy Again.”
As much as his thoughts may sound good, they still suffer from the same old government interventionist mindset. He wants a “National Emergency Declaration of Health.” Can you imagine the wrangling, jet fuel, focus groups and lobbying that would occur with such an initiative?
He suggests we should “recreate the food pyramid” with good food and pastured meat and eggs on the bottom instead of the top. You’d have to move the entire climate change, cow farts narrative to make this happen.
Then yet more government mandates: corporations with more than 100 employees “should be required to offer wellness programs that include fitness classes, nutritional counseling, and mental health services.” Oh my, we’ve now exchanged one nanny for another.
He wants health education taught in all public schools, regulations banning junk food ads when children watch TV and subsidies for organic and transitioning farms. This is just a sampling of his list and much of it would indeed be good … if it were possible. But it’s not.
The mushroom NPC normie dullards don’t want health.
They want to eat shit and be kept in the dark.
Let them have at it.
Remember when they tried to stop GMO’s back in the late 1990s?
How’d that work out.
Exactly.
