Cottom: Why Make America Healthy Again is a gateway to gimmicks
"That's the gist of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s anti-science approach to making America healthy. Kennedy poo-poos GLP-1s, not because they do not work for weight loss and diabetes, but because exercise and clean eating are more natural. He has suggested that eating glysophate-free grain could reduce eczema symptoms and that organic, cellphone-free wellness farms are suitable for people suffering from addiction or who take attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder medication."
"More tellingly, he has promised to end government suppression of treatments like psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can't be patented by Pharma. Health, his rhetoric has long implied, is an easily attainable personal choice; by pursuing it, anyone can look and feel good."
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rejects evidence-based treatments in favor of 'natural' remedies and lifestyle choices, criticizing GLP-1 drugs despite their effectiveness for weight loss and diabetes. He promotes glysophate-free grain, organic cellphone-free wellness farms, and the removal of regulatory limits on a wide range of unproven therapies, including psychedelics, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapy, chelators, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. He frames health as an easily attainable personal choice and equates looking healthy with being healthy. The convergence of beauty, health and wellness markets amplifies this messaging, turning simplified natural narratives into profitable lifestyle marketing as consumer beauty spending grows.
