lI's laughable that your idea of valid evidence consists of youtube videos. The following comes from real research.

And red meat consumption isn't limited to an increased risk of cancer:

Red meat consumption associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk

People who eat just two servings of red meat per week may have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to people who eat fewer servings, and the risk increases with greater consumption, according to a new study led by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. They also found that replacing red meat with healthy plant-based protein sources, such as nuts and legumes, or modest amounts of dairy foods, was associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and posit that RFK's guidelines won't be referencing the sources I've cited above. Not so sure that he won't be using youtube sources insteadd.

And it looks like that America's obesity problem is related more to the fact that Americans just consume too many calories

 

Title: Energy expenditure and obesity across the economic spectrum
Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)
Publication Date: July 14, 2025

Economic development is associated with increased prevalence of obesity and related health problems, but the relative importance of increased caloric intake and reduced energy expenditure remains unresolved. We show that daily energy expenditures are greater in developed populations, and activity energy expenditures are not reduced in more industrialized populations, challenging the hypothesis that decreased physical activity contributes to rises in obesity with economic development. Instead, our results suggest that dietary intake plays a far greater role than reduced expenditure in the elevated prevalence of obesity associated with economic development.

So not just what Americans consume, but how much they consume on average.

 

Let's see if Kennedy stands up against the food industry which is constantly devising ways to get Americans to eat more.

Be assured this latest offering from Kennedy’s worm addled brain will not address the part fast food companies and the U.S. Processed Food Industry plays in America’s obesity epidemic.

 

The focus will be blaming doctors and the obese.

Do you want 'Big Brother'  controlling every aspect of peoples lives  or should they take responsibility for themself...look in the mirror and say hey I'm a fatso I'm gonna try to exercise a bit more  cut down on the fast food and make myself healthy again.... or is it upto the doctor to prescribe a fat jab ?

You can see the very same thing playing out now in Thailand.

Yes agree with you 100%  this was sharply highlighted during the Covid period...we all saw that anything other than the 'jab'  was ridiculed and demonised...cheap natural things like vitamin D and Zinc  poo pooed as antivax nonsense...now they wonder why a large amount of the population  don't trust them anymore.

As I said earlier, it’s always about blaming the obese.

 

Given the proposal suggests education you might want to educate yourself of the actual causes of endemic obesity.

They’re getting g behind this because it gives a free pass to the fast food and processed food industries while engaging in blaming the medical profession and the obese.

It's quite simple  fat people stuff too much "food" into their mouth.

Yes we should "blame" ( if you want to blame someone)

the obese for being fat  no one is force feeding them.

If people knew the extent of the corruption within the GOP many supporters would be astonished, they are just as corrupt as the Democrats if not more, and Trump's soul was bought and sold to a pretty spectacular extent.
