Terrible! I cannot eat bread anymore. Up all night in tummy pain!
Cheap is expensive
Eat better to live longer
Money and greed rule the US. Look at the leader of the government. The lazy and ignorant are fine with this.
Don't you remember the movie Super Size Me? Morgan Spurlock (RIP) ate McDonald's ror 30 days, even the water, and he got very ill. McDonald's stopped using the term super size. Now they just suggest large. Food deserts and fast food restaurants aimed at the poor. It IS killing us. The ONE thing I have seen RFK, Jr. do that was positive was invest in and promote a vertical food growing operation that could be used in an urban environment and also used a lot less water. It failed but was a great idea. Imagine growing lettuce and carrots in the middle of NYC for the whole city! Cheap and easy.
Tomatoe sauce is a bad example. If you make it fresh you will still use sugar because it cuts the acidity of the tomato. I get it but still bad example.
Just listen to JFK Jr. He's obviously a healthy super-perior being. He's rich and powerful and doesn't listen to anybody for more than 10 seconds.
the middle of the supermarket is poison
I spent $50 on zucchini, squash , peppers, onions and sweet potatoes . That will be gone in 2 meals.
RFK, Jr. is working hard to fix this problem, but he has the modern-day food industry, with its billions of dollars, fighting him every step of the way. Money buys power, influence, and advertising. It's a tough uphill battle. The food industry will stop at nothing to confuse the public about this and belittle Kennedy the best they can. What's in this video is nothing new; it's been known for decades. But the majority of the public doesn't have the will to implement it.
I am a 57 year old nurse. Since the pandemic, what I eat has never been so important to me. I cook 95% of my husband’s and I meals. I make my own bread. I am growing a few fruits and vegetables. Why don’t we have commercials? Why don’t our cities and counties act on our behalf? Why are we not the norm? We lived in Europe for 8 years when my husband served in the USAF; why dont we have fresh farmers markets in every community? I have so many questions!!
the country is sick and obese. YEAH we have a problem and it's not the people being bad
Plant-based is the way: dark green leafy vegetables every day, fruit for dessert and you can make meals out of tempeh, tofu, wheat gluten that mimmick meat without the antibiotics, pestisides and pain and suffering.
Our ancestors all ate whole unprocessed foods, and they are all dead.
A home cooked meal once or twice a week? What are you guys eating in America? We cook everyday in the Netherlands.. or mostly.
Call them predigested foods, maybe people will get the idea
Instead of new subsidies to healthy food we need to remove all the subsidies for unhealthy food/corn/all food.
This is all part of the plan of big pharmamm
Sugar causes inflammation and it helps accelerate cancer. When you think about McDonald's it's really truly a terrorist organization
This is the same guy who did the psychedelic documentary on Netflix
These men know!!!
Simone should be Ilia's sports psychologist
Its hard to pronounce quinoa but I think its good to eat.
Eating healthy is NOT expensive, you just have to learn how to cook.
Teach kids how to cook real food from scratch.
Teach the parents first.
Stop being lazy.
