He’s the smartest man in generations. He said we don’t need vaccines and now I’m ok to eat roadkill without worrying about parasites. What a hero.
My dad almost died from polio. Vaccines are a major part of my existing (my mother got vaccinated against it). Fuck this guy.
I WANT A BRAINWORM. LET’S LEAVE A DEAD BEAR IN CENTRAL PARK AND TELL THAT RACIST SHITHEAD ROSANNE ABOUT IT!
Punchable face.

Isn’t his brain a land of worms and mercury?
Policy aside, who is even using the food funnel, formerly the pyramid, to guide their diets?
IIRC government recommendations can impact the composition of school lunches.
No shit, it promotes products of the Trump syndicate. It smells very badly like corruption.
I didn’t know human can be so red and unhealthy looking while still being alive, and this is the dude responsible for making health decisions on massive scale? Lmao Americans
He doesn’t die because his cancer got aneurysms.
he also had a history of HEROIN abuse, plus parasitic infection, and hes currently juiced up.
What would his poison be, beer? Whisky? Vodka? All of the above?
actually anti-parasitic medication and heroin.
I don’t pray. I’ve never wished for anyone to get cancer. I find myself doing both here, now, for RFK Jr.
This type of stuff is unironically going to shorten the lifespan of millions of people. The keto diet is so absurd. If I wanted to invent something that technically followed the rules but was wildly unhealthy, I doubt I could come up with something as absurd as the chaffle (a waffle made of cheese), but I know people who’ve actually eaten them. Once I was visiting my family and started snacking on some chips, but something felt off, so I checked. It was literally just melted crispy cheese. We’re going to be the first generation to have a lower lifespan than our parents.
This is not a problem unique to keto. Plenty of diets have enough loopholes for you to technically follow them while being incredibly unhealthy. There’s a reason the term “junk food vegan” exists.
“Keto” itself has a ton of different forms, but the main goal is to move away from processing food into glucose and towards processing food into ketones. That effectively means cutting carbohydrates. A lot of these pretty much everyone agrees are bad for you: sugar, corn syrup, starches. That isn’t unique to keto. What is unique is cutting out other carbs. Fruits, and some vegetables (I’m using casual categories here), have been bred over thousands of years to have a ton of sugar in them. Grains like wheat, oats, and rice are probably the most significant and weird things that keto cuts: these have been efficient sources of calories for humans for thousands of years, the foundations of civilization, yet are not compatible with ketosis.
In order to maintain the same caloric intake, that means increasing fat and protein (technically alcohol too lol). If you increase saturated fats (dairy, red meat, coconut and palm oils) that’s unhealthy. The healthy way to do it is to go for unsaturated fats: fish, poultry, seeds, nuts, most other vegetable oils. It also happens that red meats are the ones that are significantly worse for the environment and economy. Seafood and poultry certainly have their own environmental impacts of course, and are more expensive per calorie than grains. If you can stand to get away from Western cuisine, there are plenty of insect options that are great sources of protein (shrimps is bugs after all). But articles like this (I can’t confirm because it’s behind a paywall) almost always project out the worst-case scenario that all of this increased protein intake is coming from beef, the worst source. Beef and pork should absolutely be reduced to luxury items people eat on rare occasions, or perhaps not at all. Fish and poultry can definitely be part of a sustainable future: there are a lot of conditions like epilepsy that BENEFIT from getting more protein from animal sources.
That’s all just talking about macronutrients. The other components are micronutrients and fiber. Leafy green low-carb veggies like lettuce, kale, spinach, broccoli, brussel sprouts. Dietary fiber is listed under carbohydrates on US Nutrition Facts but does not count towards the “Net Carbs” that someone on keto should be looking at. Mushrooms are good too.
Someone can eat nothing but Oreos and still be vegan, and someone can eat nothing but beef jerky and cheese and still be keto.
its good short term, but never a long term thing.
that all sounds so disgusting
i’m really glad i get nauseous from too much fat and sugar… makes it really easy to avoid stuff like that
it does make it kinda difficult to visit the US and see friends though: anywhere we eat is a minefield of fat, sugar, and salt that leaves me just wanting a damn salad to cleanse my palette but even then it probably has fricken ranch on it or a weirdly salty vinaigrette
This guy always looks like he’s about to lay an egg from his mouth in his photos.
worms do releases hundreds of thousands eggs each day.
🤣🤣🤣
I don’t trust health advice from a man that looks like a plastic tomato.
a OVVERIPE tomato that is spoiling.
Plastic sundried tomato.
There are almost zero Americans that are protein deficient. Yet people here freak out about vegetarians and vegans like they’re going to die of lack of protein while ignoring common vegan protein sources.
You could cut about half of the meat from old food group suggestions, including the Michele Obama one (which was more healthy and reasonable), and still be getting more than enough protein.
God these people are so anti-science and so fucking dumb. Men all desperately trying to look like roided out freaks.
Americans lack fiber, the protein bushit has gotten out of hand
I’m no vegan or vegetarian, but I’ve been eating way less meat and more veggies lately since I found a really delicious veggie stew recipe. I’ve made it weekly for meal prep almost 4 weeks in a row now. There are many days recently where I go without eating meat at all. I just got some blood work back from my yearly physical and I had too much protein in my blood.
I actually get more protein from the veggie stew than I was getting with my old diet.
I’m commenting in hope that vegan stew recipe drops and I get a notification.
You can’t just say that and not share the veggie stew recipe.
Seconded
Thirded
Fourthed
Fifthed
Adding to what you said, I’ll just drop this here.
Thanks for the link. I’m personally not even vegan and only what I call “half-vegetarian.” I was pushing for full vegetarian until I was diagnosed with cancer which actually does require increased protein intake. I just think it’s dumb to ignore reality that the majority of US citizens are far from hurting for protein and that there are plenty of healthy vegan protein options from nuts to tofu to seitan and more.
the very first reference in that list is an outdated position by the and. it expired five years ago. it’s likely some of those other links also rely on this now expired position.
I wouldn’t take everything there at face value. you will need to actually click and read every link critically.
do you have to disclose your Burger King affiliate status?
Hey, if you remember, the last time you whined about this, I appended the most recent 2025 position to the bottom of the list – just to soothe your oh-so-good-faith concern that the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics might’ve decided between 2016 and now that “actually, modern medical research is bullshit and plant-based dieting is unhealthy”.
It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes […] Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. —Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (2016)
It is the position
no, it’s not. it used to be.
your strawman is bad faith
do you have the little cardboard crown on now?
Well said
Men
This got sexist fast.
Sexy men eat veggies
I originally read this as: Men, this got sexy fast.
And I must, say I support men eating wholsome veggies, its sexy af, roast it for me please
It’s also quackery.
almost all nutritionist generated information is shite
he probably going to recommend it eaten raw, he wants to replenish his worms some how.
No, don’t you get it? The worms whisper to him. He knows the truth! You have to blend beef, fine Argentinian beef, in a blender then inject it into the top of your peen. If you don’t have a peen, take the cow peen and staple it to your face, then inject. Then you will be stronk like robber fucking lies kernedy junior! -a brainworm, probably
The worms are trying to spread themselves through undercooked meat! RFK is merely their mouthpiece to the world! They know bigger portions mean more chance of raw middle bits! Wake up sheeple!
They’ve taken full control of the human meat vehicle!
his skull is mostly filled with worms, more than brain.
Are you suggesting we cook rfk je? Because; I’m on board.
I mean look, we’ve all seen the documentaries. If we don’t do it now, the worms are just going to reanimate his corpse and take infection matters into their own han…. Tails?
Anyway, it’s just pragmatic.
worms also increase longevity and health, almost all the other kennedys died from some disease.
It’s literally a South Park joke from a couple years ago too…
Cartman flipped the pyramid, just like RFK Jr did in real life.
Focusing on protein and healthy fats over carbohydrates is not quackery.
An insistence on meat/dairy, that’s quackery, but Americans in general eat too many shit tier carbohydrates and fats and not enough protein.
Edit: this is Lemmy. Want fiber and protein? Eat some fuckin’ BEANS.
It’s also worth pointing out that the sugar industry spent decades and billions of dollars convincing Americans that fats were much worse than they actually are, which led to its own terrible consequences. There are healthy amounts of fat that a lot of boomers are still terrified of.
These food guidelines have always been more about economics than health anyways. It changes with the political influence of the various agricultural industries in America.
eating more meat than veggies and fibers has been shown to increase chances of colon cancer.
I don’t disagree, but veggies and fibers aren’t macronutrients in our current system of nutrition. Fats, carbs, proteins. Of those three, it’s wiser to prioritize proteins over the rest. This is all I’m saying.
Could you cite the study, please?
We eat more than enough protein. What we lack is roughage. We’re all in on that ultra processed white bread and corn chip stuff with lots of pasta. The main foods we need to eat more of remains as it always has: vegetables and to a lesser extent unprocessed fruits. We also should shift how we consume starches to healthier variants like baked potatoes. But seriously, it’s fiber, we don’t eat enough fiber
I don’t disagree with that at all. Fiber is massively important.
I suppose what I’m trying to say is, given a constant calorie budget, people would be healthier if they shifted their proportions of calories towards protein and good fats and away from carbohydrates and bad fats. This does not seem like quackery to me, it seems like sound dietary advice.
This is broadly true, and the majority of the information in the new dietary guidelines is more or less in line with what we know already and what was recommended before. Protein is a great energy source that keeps you fuller longer, and is especially important if you’re active. But the new recommended range of protein intake is ridiculous. 1.2-1.6 grams per lb of body weight is well above the range that is helpful for bodybuilders, much less average sedentary Americans. Many will meet this with red meat consumption, which has a number of negative health and climate effects that the new dietary guidelines have nothing to say about.
You also really do need fats and carbohydrates for a number of vital body processes, and I think unless they’re active and being VERY careful, someone eating 1.6 g/lb of protein will struggle to get enough fat and carbs without introducing a caloric surplus.
It really depends on your activity level and what your goals are. To quote from your own source "If you’re actively building muscle with strength or resistance training, more protein can help,” said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a Tufts University nutrition expert. “Otherwise, you’re getting enough.”
Most Americans are getting enough protein in their diet because most Americans are less active than they should be and are already eating more than they should be.
Diets should be built around an individuals needs, though fiber is one of the things virtually no one is getting enough of unless your eating like 5 cups of lentils everyday.
That is true, the sugar (and corn,) industry at a minimum has run influence operations demonizing fat for the harms of sugar.
The body actually does not feel full until it gets enough fat, the stomach tastes the contents, if you have no fat you take in way more calories. Also, sugar is half fructose and half glucose. Glucose is good, used as is, that is what they put in hospital IV drips. Fructose gets metabolized in your liver into fat, then used, but the body does not recognize it as a food. It does not contribute to a full feeling.
Every time these dumb motherfuckers get thirsty they swill down pop, with the equivalent of 16 teaspoons of sugar in a 16 ounce. It is a major, if not the largest, factor in obesity.
Fructose could not even be utilized in human ancestors in the monkey days, it was not until a cold wind blew over africa for centuries that our monkey ancestors got the ability to turn that fructose into fat, to use for the periods when we did not have fresh fruit on hand every day all day. According to a national geographic article titled Sugar, now not findable on enshitified search engines because fuck you, (and me, the consumer not a personal dig.)
This guy would be our next president, taking the republican party in the succession, if not for his voice. Hard to give a good hitler speech with that impediment, probably a deal breaker with the base. Vance is not going to get it in whichever case. He was chosen because he’s an unlikable cunt so the president wouldn’t be shunted aside for him so quick.
If RFK Jr runs for president, I’d start to feel okay about history repeating itself.
Sadly he might be the “best” of the cabinet. Which is to say he is less of a piece of shit than the rest, despite being a massive cynical piece of shit. All the real stuff he talks about, he’s just playing people. Toxic dyes and additives, pesticides, etc. He doesn’t care about any of it, he is just furthering his own interests. The thought that anyone would care about the greater good fills these types of people with scorn, and disbelief. They think everyone else is a selfish piece of shit too, working for selfish goals.
There’s no shortage of unlikable cunts in the GQP. I have this pet theory that he was chosen specifically because of his fake name. Short, punchy, strong: Vance. Just like Pence.
Seriously, the fascists are all about projecting an image of strength and power.
Somehow half the voting population likes these cunts though. Or more accurately dislikes the democrats more than them. No shortage indeed. In fact I would hypothesis that all of their leaders are cunts with only rare exceptions that prove the rule. And those are soon purged after they are outed.
meatheads love rfkjr, and some gymbros whos all about protein.
Vance was paired with his wife by the literal “Tiger Mom” who became their professor at Yale…
They were meant to be the Republican version of the Clinton’s before Trump showed up and brought white supremacy back into the mainstream.
They were meant to be the first “woke” Republican generation, and that’s why it so easy for Vance to seem like he’s dropping his wife, it was always a political marriage. They’re both pieces of shit who have spent their whole lives preparing to destroy our country, and neither love or probably even like the other.
He’s imagining you’re eating roadkill and zombie deer though.
