Gosh, thanks Bel,...... you know I can't read so goodly.
Edit: But I'm sure that you two will get along just fine, it appears that you both have a similar view of America.
I don't understand the negative view people seem to have of europeanatheist. It's clear he's no fan of Trump or of RFK.
It's true that despite RFK's kookiness, he might be correct about some things. Nothing he says is original with him; there are others, with varying degrees of expertise, who agree with them. To work out exactly what is correct we'd have to take the time to examine each case.
It's true that the US allows all kinds of food additives that are banned in Europe and in Japan. I'm no expert on food additives, but it makes sense to ask why other countries have made these rules.
These are all scientific questions. I don't think we want corporate lobbyists making the rules, and I don't think we want to judge who is correct simply according to which politicians we hate. It's not anti-American to say you'd like the government to do a better job with people's health. And you don't have to support Trump or RFK to see that as a worthy goal.
