Year of the Snake Oil Salesmen (2/19/25)

The breaking up of federal healthcare, and similarly related, agencies comes with a caveat: what will they be replaced with? The same question can be asked about ingredients that may soon be restricted in the United States, what are they going to be replaced with? A recent Executive Order from the White House has created the Make America Healthy Again Commission to investigate why Americans are not only so mentally and physically sick, but why we lead developed nations in these diseases, sometimes doubling the rates. Asthma is twice as common in the US than in Europe, Africa, or even Asia. Six in ten Americans have one chronic disease, while four in ten have more. While some may be genuinely classified by symptoms, others are fabricated to sell drugs, hence while ADD/ADHD has continued to explode. America spends $4.5-trillion in healthcare annually and 90% of that is on chronic conditions and mental health problems that are treatable, reversible, or preventable. But how much good can MAHA do when it is approved by a fast food president and when its leader, RFK Jr. still says McDonalds is acceptable so long as it is fried in beef tallow. Nothing is perfect, but it needs to be said that junk food prohibition will work as good as alcohol prohibition. America has a food fetish of the worst kind, an obsession with simple so-called solutions to problems they create personally, and an unhealthy reliance on men and women who work for companies that have a desire to sell you wonder cures.   - FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads) SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVE X / TWITTER  FACEBOOK WEBSITE STRIPE DONATION CashApp: $rdgable  EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
