    Dems wanted a healthy population to save money, Republicans want a healthy population so they can join the military to kill and die for imperial interest.

        Not the same thing, but it’s also worth mentioning that free breakfasts in school were started by the Black Panthers, who knew that children would be able to learn more if they didn’t start the day hungry.

      Republicans want a dumb population to make more republicans. Malnutrition definitely has negative impacts on education.

      Healthy working class to exploit. Not that that means you should be unhealthy as an anti imperialist act. A healthy, informed working class is the most likely to have a successful revolt.

      RFK made a statement a while ago about eating healthier and less processed foods, which is completely expected.

      What wasnt expected or normal is him listing military readiness as a primary reason for a healthy population. I can’t believe I haven’t seen anything about people disecting that section of the statement.
