Yeah idk my GP has been telling me to get more exercise for years. Must be a communist.

HOA Karens complaining that kids are outside unwatched

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Argument to be made that since all those generally require more time and money than a minimum wage slave would have its the late stage capitalism that is suppressing them.

[–] FelineFanatic@lemmy.ml 53 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 35 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Exercise

Er, don't think doctors generally advocate against--

Sunshine

...Um?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago

He means he's anti-sunscreen.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To be fair natural milk microbes have been associated with a lot of very positive health effects. It's just that contamination is common and makes you pretty bloody sick 1 in 100-1000 bottles of milk

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Weren’t like half of all food borne illnesses caused by milk before pasteurization?

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 16 points 2 weeks ago

About ~25% of food borne illness was due to pathogenic bacteria making its way into milk/dairy products pre-pasturisation

[–] db2@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They're so aggressively stupid.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

RFK Jr is definitely more worn food than brain but I've always assumed these things are just stock market manipulation more that true believers.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My favorite was the guy "I want raw milk, but is there a way to kinda sorta boil it to kill the germs? Then we can have safe raw milk."

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 11 points 2 weeks ago

I know a guy who got his pregnant wife to start drinking raw milk and plans to feed it to his newborn

Society man.

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago

How funny will it be if raw milk turns out to be the thing that killed Lindsey Graham?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Half that shit is crap or marketing nonsense with no real basis in reality, like fucking nutraceuticals.

[–] stretch2m@infosec.pub 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Literally the first time I ever saw that word. WTF is a neutraceutical?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutraceutical

Nutraceutical is a marketing term used to imply a pharmaceutical effect from plant extracts, compounds, or food products that are claimed to influence health outcomes, typically as dietary supplements.[1]

In the United States, nutraceuticals are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as foods, dietary supplements or food ingredients, depending on the ingredients included and marketing claims.[2][3] Regulatory treatment varies by jurisdiction, and the term has no uniform legal definition internationally.[4][5]

Yeah I'm so tired of the FDA suppressing sunlight.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

Good news, they want to put mirrors in space to get sunlight at night now

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

and somehow, "exercise"

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Sooo, I guess evangelicals aren't appalled by stem cells treatment any more?

[–] stretch2m@infosec.pub 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That one stood out to me, too. Where does he think stem cells come from, anyway?

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 11 points 2 weeks ago

Plant stems.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

I hope it was worth an entire decade of research that could've happened but didn't, directly because of them.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 weeks ago

Don't lump psychedelics in with your lunacy, we don't claim you

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait until Big Sunshine hears about this.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

They're just trying to sell you solar panels!

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Good bye, America.

You are here:

ROCK America HARD PLACE

The rock is your overpriced, underperforming health "service", and the hard place is your governments attempts to kill you with quack "science".

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The US isn't the only country with problems. Last I checked you guys have an AfD problem following close behind. The Deutsche Bahn problems are just another indication of the same neoliberal dysfunction that caused a loss of faith in government here in the US that might hit your country next if you don't start paying attention.

I'm not saying you can't criticize the US, but if you're not looking in your own backyard and learning lessons from our mistakes you're no better than us.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm looking into my own backyard, and i see the problems, but they are neglectable in comparison to the catastrophe that the US is.

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Finally the suppression of the Sun is over!

[–] greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't realize RFK Jr is why I've been doing so many psychedelic mushrooms, thanks dawg.

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay, looking past the obvious stupidity for a moment, why is he encouraging FDA employees to "Preserve your records"? Doesn't that go against, like, his entire post? Nay, his entire strategy (if it can even be called that)?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He thinks the records are incriminating.

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But if they were, then they'd be even stupider to preserve them. It's like he's trying to bluff his way into winning a game of poker but then flipping the cards to reveal he's got the worst possible hand before anyone else can even make a bet (idk, not my best analogy but I'm sticking with it)

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Aside from it being nonsense …. Destroying evidence is also against the law. Sometime the investigation starts with legally you must preserve all records

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

To be clear, the current FDA guidelines on Nutraceuticals is that they have to be treated as food. This is loose because of people like Orin Hatch, who rigged the system for his daughter's supplement company, which was also found to contain no amounts of some of the ingredients that were listed on the bottle. To make regulation looser would only be possible by not requiring supplements to be edible or by not requiring a list of ingredients (including allergens).

I think the homopath is what they call the sidewalk in front of the gay bar downtown

[–] kboos1@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Does he own an MLM? Is that why he's pushing junk?

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

I guess he should pack his bags.

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Absolute nonsense tweet.

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I want to see his MRI to find out how little brain matter is required to pretend to be a human being.
