No it's not - the topic is healthier food. If someone said "I bet Hitler[0] will reverse this thing that makes trains run on time" and someone said "actually Hitler loves trains running on time", that would be a fair response.
This is the old "the person my news sources repeatedly tell me to dislike is like Hitler".

- ceejayoz 2y ago> No it's not - the topic is healthier food. The topic is also RFK and his views, which include quite prominent anti-vaccine activism.
- robertlagrant 2y agoI don't see that in the comment chain.
- ceejayoz 2y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42712142 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42712142 > Removing dyes and healthier food in general is one of RFK's stated goals
- robertlagrant 2y agoYes, but if it's one of his goals, then bringing him in isn't going to reverse it.
- ceejayoz 2y agoHe's both a "no dyes in food" activist and a "vaccines bad" activist. Both are goals of his. I'd rather have vaccines and dyes than no vaccines and no dyes.
- robertlagrant 2y agoOkay, but that seems irrelevant to this thread. What you're getting is RFK, and he doesn't like dyes in food. So as I understand it the original claim is false, and that's all this thread is trying to address.
