See Meet RFK Jr.’s MAHA Elite: There’s a reason Mike Bloomberg’s former health commissioners approve of the HHS nominee by Kimberley A. Strassel of The WSJ. Excerpts:
"“We have to tell people how to lead better lives.” Politicians have a duty to protect citizens from greedy industries, to stop corporations from poisoning our food, to steer us away from bad choices. America has a health crisis, and government must make us healthier.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?
No, then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg nearly 20 years ago, as he became New York City’s nutritional nag, hectoring and mandating residents, inserting the public-health complex into grocery stores, restaurants and family kitchens. Republicans are now lumbering us with Bloomberg 2.0."
"But New York wasn’t saved. The Big Apple is more obese than it was 20 years ago, with more chronic disease, despite all Nanny Bloomberg’s attempts at coercion. Is that because the evil forces are getting more evil? No. It’s because people continue making bad choices. See the lines to buy that Crumbl Candy Cane Brownie (despite an enforced disclosure it contains 1,210 calories) or the stats on young men who never leave the videogame console. If there’s a conspiracy, it’s us against ourselves."
