Imagine our government not beholden to big food and big pharma. We could fix many ills in society
They are trying to depopulate why would they save us
The government likes people weak and sick, because the weak and sick are easier to control. The government likes people to be poor, because poor people are easier to control. The government likes people to be uneducated, because the uneducated are easier to control. Everyone who looks to government for answers is causing self-harm. Government is actively trying to make its citizens dependent on government. Dependent people are easy to control.
Yes, change what and how you do it. Don’t shop in grocery stores. Eat seasonally, say no to junk and make your own meals. It’s a simple and beautiful use of your time. Cook together!
20 30 years? Try since 1950 1960 when the box foods came out.
Tv dinners used to be a treat for me as a kid.
Food/diet has been ultraprocessed for more than a few decades, more like 5 or 6 decades. Robert K. basically confirms the same thing. In the 60s and 70s kids diets were really very ultraprocessed, just look at school lunches from then and the sales of cookies, candy, chips, french fries, fast food, pringles, tang, sodas.
I used to like tang, but my mother was obsessed with Hawaiian punch. I hated that crap
The first McDonalds opened in 1940. I was born in 1954 and remember dry cereal every day, American “cheese” on white bread sandwiches, PB&J on white bread, Tang and Koolaid. White bread with Oleo (margarine) sprinkled with white sugar for a treat. The dangerous hydrogenated “vegetable” oils became ubiquitous even earlier in the century.The good thing was my mom always made a fresh whole food dinners with meat and two vegetables. My siblings and i have continued that tradition, none of us became addicted to chips and stuff and are still very healthy in our late 60’s-70’s. Kids nowadays with working moms who are too tired, poor, stressed, not enough time to cook, don’t stand a chance.
@@curiouscat3384 that’s cool, my mother raised gardens, made homemade meals most of the week, she did however cheat if you will. She would say ” well they couldn’t put the food in the stores if it was unsafe” in some ways she trusted the fda, ag dept to make sure we had the safest foods available. Yet when I wanted certain foods she would say that’s unhealthy eat liver and onions lol. She was the best mother ever but a mixed bag as well.
I’m nearly 65. When i was a kid I didn’t see corn syrup – cane sugar was common – all the sodas and sweet drinks used cane sugar. Today’s processed foods are far different. Back in the 1960’s there were fewer ingredients, less preservatives and chemical additives and non-food fillers. 300 countries in the world don’t allow American food and the ingredients are healthier for the same products in Canada. That’s facts.
In the beginning, junk food was created.
I am a Greek Cypriot and one of the leading pioneers in the field of Natural Medicine in the history of my country!my opinion is that if just IF! Mr Kennedy had been the president of the United States of America,and Dr Mark Hyman the surgeon general(in charge of medical matters/i know hes not a surgeon),United States of America would be surely the greatest country in the whole world!!may God bless them both for the wonderful work they have been doing for all of us !!!
Everyone gets it but Americans. They want to kill and replace Americans.
What about all the vaxes the kids get before they leave the hospital?
They dumb us down at birth
It’s so evil
What about them?
@@bigjorge863 Did they dumb you down? Misinformation.
@@REL602
FACT! 🤡
Robert Kennedy Jr. speaks truth. I believe him when he says he will call the recreate the NIH, pharma and food companies.
No he does not speak the truth – he’s a wack-job conspiracy theorist who’ll tell you the Earth is flat.
I agree that obesity and garbage food are big problems but do we really want the same government who is managing our southern border telling us what to eat?
Mr. Kennedy is recommending that government change its ways my dear. No we don’t want the “same”, lol
I would have voted for him but his support of Israel is insane
Every candidate has the same position on Israel. RFKjr is the best candidate in my lifetime.
@@johnr5312 Not Bernie Sanders. I’m with him.
His support of Israel is moral and admirable.
@@curiouscat3384 Bernie’s not a candidate.
@Jraymiami… Agreed. His unabashed support for Zi0ni$m and Islamophobic remarks is a disappointment. His uncle’s probably rolling in his grave.
The number one ingredient to remove from the food supply is manufactured seed oils such as canola, cotton seed oil, crisco and margarine. Check out the ancestral diet.
Nope. It’s sugar. There’s zero evidence on seed oils being harmful.
It’s both sugar, manufactured seed oils and processed foods
turns out that high cholesterol is not a problem. there is not a relationship between cholesterol and heart disease. heart disease is caused by sugar.
Can you please share with us those peer reviewed studies that support your hypothesis?

I saw the notes, I want transcription. His voice is so hard to listen to, but as someone who loved chemistry, grew up in a pharmaceutical manufacturing community and have been healed by functional medicine practices, Thank you for this..
His voice warms up. He has spasmodic dysphonia. What he has to say is more important than your sensitivities…
Scroll to the bottom of it and see the transcript
Thank you both for your service to all of us. ❤
Thanks to Dr Hyman for bringing diverse voices on your show. While I’ll be voting for someone sophisticated enough to not run in either oligarch funded major party, and who isnt thus so wedded to capitalism, colonialism, and theocracy. That said, i appreciate your discussion. I wish RFKjr wasnt afraid to speak with reporter Max Blumenthol.
Please don’t vote for trump. He’s a traitor.
Maybe you need to learn a little more about him… he is running as an Independent candidate, no party with the exception of the We the People party, true free market capitalism isn’t your enemy, crony capitalism is,, and he said many times that he was going to talk to Max Blumenthal, but that was before the far left went unhinged against him. Just seems like another separation to keep us fighting each other and never breaking free of the uni-party control.
@@jessicajensen1976 I think maybe Ghizlaine Maxwell and her ilk may have RFKjr by the short hairs. From what Whitney Webb has reported that makes the most sense to me.
RFKjr was so naive that he wasted months running for the Dem nomination before he finally realized how corrupt both major parties are. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, apparently.
You can believe in magic capitalism if you want to. I dont care. I don’t believe in magic bullets or in magic capitalism. And I know that both major parties are bought and paid for by the same capitalists. You know, the same people RFKjr is taking money from.
Good interview ty
I haven’t had a carbonated drink of any kind in over 25 years. I was a diet coke addict😂
I never drink soft drinks, I don’t like them😊

Thank you Dr. Hyman and Robert F Kennedy Jr for putting this information out. I’ve been following Dr. Hyman since the early 2000s when I attended a training at KRIPALU with Alberto Villoldo and you Mark spoke. I’ve been following you ever since thank you all for this wonderful information. I am a health and wellness practitioner. Been studying it for 30 years, and I am fascinated by the things I have found, thank you thank you thank you, Robert F Kennedy Jr for president.
Robert Kennedy~! Well Said~! Getter Done~!~!~!
Who is going to be left to fill jobs or serve in the military when the population is getting sicker all the time? Our children are born poisoned and sick. This doesn’t bode well.😢
Stilled praying for Kennedy to be come our next president come on people vote for the best man lets bring him to white house
Imagine if the people in any government position had integrity. The planet would not be in the State it is Now.
