These evil people want us sick and hospitalized with chronic disease from eating this crap. Now that it's political, hopefully people will see it for the bullshit it really is.

At the top of the pyramid there are also vegetables. For some reason that is left out in some of the media converge. Kennedy said to avoid the sugary, processed foods that he labels as poisonous to health. (Does any sane person disagree with this?) “My message is clear: Eat real food,” Mr. Kennedy said (Does any sane person disagree with this?)

    > He's an absolute goddamn nutjob > He is a vaccine-denier > Anything he says has no validity Huh? Yeah, he's wrong about many things. But hurling epithets and constructing an argument via ad hominem isn't necessary. You can defeat his claims directly. And FWIW, the claim that eating unprocessed "whole" foods is healthy is almost certainly true.

      If it died due to disease that's one, rabies and any prion diseases would be easy to accidentally transfer due to mistakes in handling. Parasites. Mites and fleas which also can harbor disease. Uncertain length of decomposition. Possibly died due to poison, either intentionally or unintentionally which can the poison the eater.

        > If it died due to disease We're discussing roadkill bear. Meaning a bear that was killed on the road (by a vehicle). It's technically true that it still could have any of the scary afflictions you mention, but that's no different than any hunted game, or any industrially farmed animal. Barring prions or poisoning (incredibly and quite rare, respectively), all of those issues can and would be evaluated by someone who intended to consume the animal. I'm curious if you consume meat, and if you've ever been involved in the slaughter or processing of animals.

The food pyramid was published by the department of agriculture, it’s always been propaganda.

  Thanks to the dedicated work of Edward Bernays... nephew of Sigmund Freud ... and the Creel Committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_on_Public_Information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_on_Public_Informatio... When Lucky Strike needed more women to smoke cigarettes in the late 1920s, it turned to Bernays.
