Trying times
Let’s stay out of politics. Things are rough enough in the world outside, let’s keep the forums a safe haven.
On a more general level, you are certainly right, because it is doubtful that any politician is going to save us.
Why yes, thank you, I’ll have two.
I am apparently off my rocker but these capybaras have just made me happier than anything that’s happened all season. I actually laughed out loud for the first time in months. Thank you.
Cuties!!! 
I already find our 4 cats a bit too many (I TOLD Ginger there is no place for her but had she ever listened? insert proper tense I guess. and my heart is soft especially for ginger tabbies. and she is our loveliest one but 4 is still a bit too much. oh well) but I gladly look at baby and adult capybaras any day!

I have a different, if somewhat nuanced, view. What RFK has done, which is better than any politician in decades, is raise the issue of food quality impact on health in a national major forum. The issue has become MUCH better known because of what he has done and what he has said.
If he is given some kind of job in the new Administration to clean all this up (which seems likely), how successful is he going to be? Oh, Lord knows, I am pessimistic. BUT to have someone in there trying to do stuff to improve things is a massive move forward. This is politics, so it may well all just get buried and not to be heard of again…. But there’s a chance it will get followed through.
Dr Ken is trying to put some pressure on to encourage the politicians to act on their promises in this space… not that he has much influence, but at least he’s trying.
I see chinks in the armour of the conventional wisdom, and this is a large chink… it could be the start of the tide turning… I can only hope. Meanwhile, I just stay carnivore.
I think the best you can hope for is someone like RFK in there telling people to do good things. Then what they actually do is up to them. But many can’t think for themselves and have to be told, and for them having good messaging does make a difference.
Also, not everybody has the time or inclination to learn about keto, various supplements, and other health measures. And it takes a while to learn how to do your own research, learn how to discern, and ultimately arrive at what is good.
I’m from MA, so like most of us, that NAME makes me want to punch babies, nobody is more corrupt than that family, however, I actually have some faith in that guy. He’s proven he’s NOT a standard issue Kennedy. He could still blow it, but looking into him over the years, for a lot of the crap we all want from the weirdo health space…that’s his thing! Would I want him in the Oval Office…NOPE! But where he winds up may actually work.
