MAGA hated Michelle Obama's healthy food agenda — here's why they changed their tune under RFK

Robert F. Kennedy's claim that he wants to "make America healthy again is, like most things he says, is a flat-out lie.

Most of what Kennedy claims is "healthy" is very much not, writes Amanda Marcotte .

Marcotte : To pretend Kennedy is just a healthy guy asking people to eat better, Republicans have suddenly discovered a yearning desire for people to drop French fries for broccoli.

On Thanksgiving , he deep-fried a turkey in beef tallow, ridiculously claiming it's healthier than roasting it in the oven.

Kennedy is following other masculinity grifters, like Jordan Peterson or the Liver King , who have used gender anxieties to sell men on the false notion that hamburgers are healthier than salads.

The focus on "wellness" should be understood as an excuse for tearing up systems that protect people's health.
