RFK Jr Takes Family Swimming in Contaminated River

CRAZY_CAT_WOMAN · May 13, 2025

This is gross. He's rich and has better options. Than the poor. And he's responsible for health issues.

Just how else can the kids get their brain parasites? Not everyone can afford to eat rancid road kill or dead whales.

Yes, I read that about RFK Jr. It's unbelievable, that he would eat these things and even had a worm , that died in his brain. He comes from a wealthy family. And chooses this. I can't believe it.

This creek would be a good place to dump a dead bear in the event you had one in the trunk of your car.

Well, when you are traveling to third world countries in South America, Africa, and Asia for environmental advocacy, sometimes the food is not the best quality. Eating road kill? Really? Do you have any sources that confirm this?

Don't believe it because it is not true.

It's DC, man. There are no bears. All the bodies are either prostitutes or Clinton associates... or both.

Don't believe what? The brain worm thing? RFK Jr is the one who made that claim, in a deposition:

Thats a horrible thought. Youre swimming in this creek and turning up old bones from all the people Hillary had killed.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

Food contamination at Chipotle has led to 1,100 hospitalizations over the past 4 years.
(in NYC alone, there were almost 300 citations issued across 74 distinct locations for "critical violations")

In other news, I still happily eat Chipotle's steak bowls with brown rice and fajita veggies lol.

That he got the infection from eating road kill and dead whale carcasses. He likely got it from eating undercooked pork in one of the third world countries he was visiting for environmental advocacy.

I suppose the other poster can speak for themselves, but I'm pretty sure the comment about road kill and dead whales was a joke, based on other comments he's made in the past, such as:

Perhaps we could laugh and mock those starving young children in Africa with bloated bellys full of parasites? I mean why not? It isn't much different from what is going on in this thread. Jesus must be pleased.

Hey, Trump cut off the food aid to those children. They should have been born in the right country. I'm sure Jesus approves of it.

Food inspection is important, people!

I think medical science (and matters of overall health) are important.

But, I think that's an area where the country as a whole engages in some various forms of "differing standards depending on who's doing it"

For example, if it's some GMO conspiracy theorist who's consuming raw non-homogenized milk and uninspected bear meat, we'll call it out and pull no punches.

However, if it's even remotely tied to a "cultural sensitivity", some people tend to handle it with kid gloves.

There are some similarities involving the obesity conversation as well.

We often let politeness and sensitivity trump (no pun intended) much needed assertiveness on many of these topics.

Just as one example, this thread. People will gladly call out RFK for eating some weird stuff...

But bring up the potential health and ethical concerns with Kosher and Halal slaughter, or bring up the rather "odd" things that take place in a wet market, or how cooky "traditional Chinese medicine" is, and a lot of people won't touch that conversation with a 10 foot pole.

Weird, I am very aware of the ethical concerns with kosher and halal slaughter but never heard about health concerns. BTW, the Amish way to slaughter a chicken is a bit more alarming than the kosher method.

Actually poultry in particular is where the health concerns exist with Kosher and Halal slaughter

...due to the rules that heat and steam can't be used for feather removal (meaning they have to use more aggressive "plucking methods" which open up the skin and make it more prone to infection)

And there's mixed research about the topic of the spiked cortisol levels in the ruminant animals at the time of slaughter for animals that have to get their throats cut while they're still conscience vs. one that get stunned ahead of time, and the potential impacts on the quality and shelf-life of the meat itself after the fact.

Why the cultish obsession with "the animal has to feel the pain" even exists, I have no clue...seems like some evil stuff to me. And I suspect, that in this current time, if that was only a feature of Kosher slaughter and not Halal, many more would vociferously come out against it.

And it goes without saying that wet market food culture brings up all kinds of health risks (and ones that don't always stay contained to regions where it's taking place). Common sense would dictate that butchering snake meat on a table with the remains of who knows what, that's been sitting out in the hot sun next to a bunch of diseased animals, is a terrible idea.

I've literally been called xenophobic for suggesting that there should be an international effort to shut down wet markets.

"Just because it seems weird to you, who are you to say that the Chinese and Sudanese people have to change their cultural traditions", to which my response has typically been "when they start creating respiratory viruses that don't stay contained to the region, then it becomes my business"

If you want a thread about raw milk,"kooky" Chinese medicine, or halal slaughtering go make one. Perhaps the crowd will show up. This is a thread about the menace to public health that is the current secretary of HHS.

Has Kennedy put forth the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" nonsense or "exposure boosts the immune system" yet?
