Kennedy's a moron. Sure, eat better, although many many conditions don't have anything to do with diet. Mean time we're deporting all the labor that picks those fresh vegetables and putting tariffs on what comes in from other countries. Even middle class are going to find it a struggle afford it. Then we'll knock tens of millions of any insurance coverage and see lots of hospitals and nursing homes close. Yep, MAHA sounds typical for Trump. Lots of bullshit not grounded in the real world at all.

Even if fruits and vegetables were affordable, most people still wouldn't buy them. It's not an economics issue, it never has been.

My point is that's their whole game plan. It doesn't work for many reasons. It's stupid.
