RFK Jr can’t MAHA if he doesn’t fight to feed them

The thing I’m most curious about is what is RFK Jr and his MAHA movement doing right now while the government has stopped funding SNAP. Food is the most essential part of good health and yet the administration that brought you Make America Healthy Again is openly and freely taking food off the table of millions of Americans in order to squeeze the Democrats into accepting their budget terms which include cutting funding to subsidized health insurance.

I can’t say that I didn’t expect this from Donald Trump and his cronies, but I will admit I was fooled by RFK Jr. I actually believed that he understood what it would take to make American’s healthier and I actually believed that he would put up a fight to make it happen. Instead all I’ve read about him is that he’s working on removing some dyes from processed food while still allowing the trash that is processed food to be manufactured and sold, he’s revised the vaccine schedule, and now he’s on a crusade to change the perception of saturated fats.

Maybe all of those things hold a place in getting American’s healthy, but none of them matter at all if people don’t have food to eat, and affordable (should be free) health insurance to not only take care of them when they fall ill but make sure that they don’t go into bankruptcy at the same time (the stress of which creates a whole new set of illness). But it’s clear that RFK Jr., Donald Trump, and anyone else in the administration is not actually concerned about it.

I’ve been thinking recently about how it just takes one bold person, and a few bold people that are willing to go out on a limb to support him/her to make change, and yet it seems that at every turn we have nothing but cowards and selfishly greedy people directing the future. Mamdani is an example of someone who is bold and who is willing to put himself out there. The fact that he won so easily when both the right and the left were so adamant he can’t win says a lot.

It says that people are waking up to the fact that none of the career politicians have our best interests at heart. They are only interested in doing the bare minimum to get re-elected, maintain power, and continue to line their pockets. But the more they squeeze the every day person the more the every day people are going to come together and seek real genuine change like Mamdani is offering NYC. While the current administration is cutting off FOOD benefits to millions, the majority of people in NYC voted for the guy who wants to open government funded grocery stores.

It’s clear what the people want and perhaps the people are finally starting to realize they hold the power and the only way they’ll secure their future is by coming together and voting for something new.
