I am sure you have heard of this initiative called Make America Healthy Againfor friends: Maha. Already the name sounds like one of those personal trainers mantras that screams motivations while you try not to pass on on the treadmill. But no, it’s not a gym slogan, It is the healthy program launched by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.the new Health Secretary in the second term of Trump. And already here someone on the left has had an hysterical crisis: “How can one take care of public health?” Well, maybe precisely because nobody had tried in those parts for decades. On the left they were too busy to convince people that asking teenagers to make stairs on foot is fat.
Already, In America, health has become a kind of optionalin recent years the left has preferred to adopt the philosophy of “you are perfect as you are treasure”. Obese, diabetic, sedentary? No problem, as long as you identify yourself as healthy and everything is fine. Do you have a breath to look at someone who runs? It is the fault of society. And if someone dares to say that maybe, only maybe, three cheeseburger a day are too many … it’s fat shaming. The willpower has become a micro-aggression.
In the meantime, potentially carcinogenic substances are prohibited in Europe at the speed of light. In the United States, however, if an ingredient is banned beyond Ocean, it is immediately put on offer 3 × 2. Bromate potassium, artificial dyes, aromas that make cigarettes seem a homeopathic remedy … there are still everywhere. But woe to remove them: it is “food oppression”. Because for a certain American left, freedom is sacred. But only the one that hurts you, only if it takes you to the clinic (for a fee). If, on the other hand, you speak of freedom of education or thought, you find yourself labeled in 5 seconds as “right extremist”. But Hey, The right to die by eating color crap remains untouchable. As well as that of ending up a gallon of ice cream in the evening as a “emotional remedy”.
And when someone, like RFK Jr., tries to say: “Sorry, perhaps to remove certain toxic foods from the school canteens is not an evil idea”, the attack starts. The lobbies wake up, Liberal commentators shout for food dictatorshipand influencer parents publish videos in which they explain that children need chemical sweets to express their creativity. We only miss that some democrats, who once defended the rights of the weakest, in order to give Trump and his administration, now defend the right to send your son to school with a can of drink to the “tropical radioactive” taste drink.
One of the last topics of debate is fluorine. For decades now inserted in drinking water to prevent caries, and transformed in a few years into a cultural war totem. RFK, following various studies that would indicate a correlation between fluorine and the reduction of the intellectual quotient in children, wants to interrupt their delivery. The question, of course, could not go unnoticed to that certain political side which, as often happens, seems to believe in science … intermittently. That is, only when science aligns with its narrative or conveniences. The result is a heated debate that has prompted several American communities to suspend fluration, while federal judges order to reconsider the security limits in light of the possible risks for infantile cognitive development. In one way or another at least it is talked about.
In the end, Make America Healthy Again is an attempt, perhaps clumsy, perhaps imperfect, of Put a little reasoning In a company that exchanged the protection of public health with emotional self -satisfaction. And yes, maybe it comes from the right. But since the left has chosen to abandon any idea of individual responsibility, willpower or discipline in the name of a motivational biscuit progressiveness of the Chinese restaurant … Then Maha is also welcome. At least try to remove the dyes from cereals and does not just put on a flag of inclusiveness even for additives.
