This sounds like a stupid question, but I’m being genuine.

He is telling people to eat more meat, which sounds absolutely insane to me.

What qualifies him to give health advice ? Why are americans trusting him ?

        They do, i know. Theyre not certain. The consequences depend on lots of factors. To disqualify someone because they used drugs without looking more into how it affected that specific person is fatalist bullshit.

          Oh yeah, I totally get that. It is obvious that RFK has brain damage which affects his ability to think clearly. This is specific to him doing hard drugs for decades.

          Also, just because you wouldn’t make a good leader because of damage you did to your mind does not change you should be treated with dignity and care.

      When oxygen to the brain is habitually suppressed, brain damage can occur. That’s not fatalist, it’s just reality.

      That doesn’t imply addiction is a moral failing. It’s a disease, and diseases can have permanent effects.
