The guy that’s taking over HHS, who is pledging to end SNAP coverage of soda and junk food because he wants Americans to be healthier, is sitting there eating a Big Mac, 10-piece McNuggets and large fries.

Then they don’t even get fountain drinks…

thanks for explaining the joke, chud.

You got no say, koala-boy.

He's not permitted to critique American politics, but I will allow him to critique humor.

The disagreement over MAHA within the health-focused community proves that two things can be true at once: Yes, many things are bad for our health. No, asking the federal government to remove our option to choose these things is not a good idea.

Water quality is another common, justified concern. "Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines," writes the Environmental Working Group (EWG). EWG's Tap Water Database lets you search using your zip code to see contaminant levels in your area's drinking water. I check the database every time I move to a new area and am often shocked at the high levels of chemicals and disinfectants found in the water that comes out of my faucet.

We shouldn't wave away valid health concerns, but regulation already exists. And, as certifications and innovative digital tools make it simpler than ever to make informed decisions, we can remove many harmful substances from our lives without increased regulation. The global certifier OEKO-TEX makes it easy to identify whether the clothes, blankets, and towels you buy have been chemically treated. EWG's Skin Deep Database makes it easy to get information about how the ingredients in your personal care products might be impacting your health.

Meh. I got a bunch of scary sounding chemicals, but then I googled "is ewg legit?" And I felt better.
