Is a communist plot.
Read an interesting article this morning in a paper designed for old people. Fluoride is actually pretty awesome and is good for overall health. So of course those with conservative values would demonize it.

RFk Jr.: McDonald's is poison. Ban Doritos.
GOP: He's got a point. Remember when everyone was skinny in the 1950s? And they didn't even exercise!

As one who occasionally eats frozen dinners, the most unhealthy thing in the store...
I watch the ingredients.
I'll see a 760 calorie dinner with 1850mg of Sodium and 25g of saturated fat.
I'd be 100% in favor of a maximum ratio of Sodium to weight of the product...
And requiring ALL saturated fats be replaced with unsaturated fats like Safflower Oil or Canola, Flaxseed, etc...
We can't change the way all people eat... but we can certainly ban the dangerous food ingredients... like the EU does.

And Big Agra has politicians in their pocket, too...
This is why the change that RFKjr is seeking will be VERY difficult.
