    he has the rare good opinion. Like he’s big on healthy eating, exercise, and regulating junk food

    Those are some hot takes. I guess the previous administration was promoting sedentary lifestyles and eating nothing but Snickers?

      All the “good” ideas this administration has are precedents to authoritarian mandates. They promote healthy eating so they can deny insurance claims etc. if you indicate (or if they suspect) you’re not doing it.
