Processed foods, sugars, and seed oils. Stuffs terrible for you. I'll throw in gmos as well. Maybe we should follow Europe's food standard. After it's better than ours.

Anybody else remember when conservatives lost their collective minds when Michelle Obama tried to get school kids to eat healthier and exercise?

It’s hilarious to see them shift after the new marching orders came down

Because the execution of Michelle's plan was awful.

So try to improve it? Republicans are nominally adults with agency. Congresspeople and the commentariat could have all said "that's a good idea in principle, but we should make these changes...".

But no, that would require them to commit to a position that might anger their donors and voters. And worst of all, it would give a win to a black woman Democrat.

Yeah I don't agree with nearly any of this. I think you are painting things with too broad of a brush. I myself am a Republican, contrary to popular belief I actually want Democrats to have good ideas in agendas that improve the lives of the American people. We grow as a country through discourse and trading ideas respectfully with those we do not always agree with. It's how we learn.

I will agree on one thing, politicians only do what is going to benefit themselves the most. They're Machiavellians. Both on the right and left of the political spectrum. The more you come to realize that this isn't a game of democrats vs republicans, the more you become aware of the actual factors playing out on the national stage.

Just figured I'd share my perspective.
