She also makes money from dietary supplements that she promotes on social media and has co-authored a book with her brother that claims “almost every chronic health symptom that Western medicine addresses is the result of our cells being beleaguered by how we’ve come to live”.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well obviously, she and Rat Fucker Kennedy would make quite a pairing.
While we will all be unhealthier (if not deader), the poorest among us are being forced into also being the unhealthiest among us.
🤡 🖕
RFK Jr + Dr Oz + this nutbag.
Truly, the adults are in charge now.
Kids would work FAR better in deciding right from wrong than these people. They're actively evil.
actually waiting for that shoe to drop... Oz was announced way early on, but to my knowledge hasn't started the confirmation hearings right?
I think that last sentence actually does have some value, if one isnt just saying it to hock dietary supplements.
Its hard to argue against it though if you consider all the issues with highly processed foods, nutrition deficiencies, the fact that we are meant to move far more than we usually do on a daily basis, microplastics, screen time, etc. I mean hell even eating 3 square meals a day is pretty unnatural from your body’s perspective. Kids being put on ADD medication just for normal child behavior instead of any severe issues. Theres a million examples of how our lives are deeply disconnected from the way that our bodies developed over hundreds of thousands of years
I dont think the point should be used to sell shit so much as it should be used to get people to reconsider their lifestyles. And it especially shouldnt be used to argue that modern medicine is entirely useless or that correcting any of those kinds of things can cure everything that is wrong with anyone. Obviously there are all kinds of heath issues that arent derived from some externality. That said, I think its fair to say we are all round pegs trying to fit the square hole of modern life to some extent; which reframes many health issues people can have as logical results of that situation, instead of just as an isolated problem
Finally I see something that calls out the total hypocrisy of this regime. They claim merit hires and then literally only wtf hires. The wtf as we all know is blind moronic loyalty or blackmail loyalty.
Finally???
Yah! At least the content I consume. I've been yelling this to myself. Granted I don't go on many major channels Els. Cheers matey.
Ok, so...
The surgeon general is going to be 'We have crunchy-mom brand Julianne Moore from Children of Men at home'.
Got it.
Sure yep, ok, makes sense, thematic continuity, sure.
MAHA is Make America Healthly Again...
I assumed that was some acronym for job in the health care industry like someone in health insurance like a benefits manager. No it's just complete fucking bullshit.
I don't believe in God, but if there is a God, she isn't testing us. She is mocking us.
I just hear Nelson from the Simpsons doing his obnoxious laugh, anytime I read or hear 'MAHA'.
Why would God even be gendered? Sorry, kind of a stray thought your post brought to the surface after seeing someone on late-night get a bunch of cheers for saying God was a woman.
Honestly, the author of this article, Arwa Mahdawi, is hands down the worst columnist at the Guardian.
She's an internet reporter who thinks she's reporting news when she's just regurgitating the most surface level takes from bluesky and reddit.
The president has broad authority to nominate who ever he wants for these roles whether they are qualified or not. I don’t think this is up for debate, and to be frank it shouldn’t even be debated. The boss gives the job to whoever he wants (a good leader chooses the right person, a bad leader does what Dozing Donald does).
But if a blatantly unqualified person gets the job, that’s on congress for playing politics instead of doing their job as they are supposed to.
I can’t wait until we’re adjusting our humors, blood letting, and institutionalizing women for hysteria… or really anything that exhibits individuality.
Trepanning, labitomies and leeches for all!
Once Kennedy was in at HHS, the lobotomies were sure to follow.
Don't forget the quicksilver (mercury) underwater and creams!
