1. Maha y la Contradicción de los Recortes a SNAP.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., como Secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos, ha promovido la iniciativa "Make America Healthy Again" (Maha), enfocándose en la nutrición y la prevención de enfermedades crónicas. Sin embargo, esta retórica choca directamente con las acciones de la administración, que incluyen recortes significativos a los fondos de SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
- Rfk jr wants to maha but has no plan on how to accomplish that other than supporting gop cuts to snap.
- If health advice from rfk, jr. Doesnt kill you, cuts to snap food aid might.
- Rfk jr. Says he wants to “make america healthy again”. Yet the administration he serves has cut snap, and he ignores the fact that 13 million kids in the u.s. Don’t know where their next meal is coming from.
- Many recommendations “are at odds with actions the administration has taken. For example, the report calls for providing “whole, healthy food” through the government-funded snap nutrition program for low-income americans-but mr. Trump signed legislation this year that significantly cut snap funding”.
2. Restricciones de Alimentos y Críticas de Clase.
Una de las propuestas más controvertidas de RFK Jr. es la restricción de la compra de "junk food" o alimentos ultraprocesados mediante SNAP, argumentando que el programa contribuye a la epidemia de enfermedades crónicas. Esta medida ha sido ampliamente criticada por ser clasista y paternalista, ya que ignora la realidad de que los alimentos menos saludables suelen ser los más baratos y accesibles para las personas en situación de pobreza.
- Rfk jr. Supports states on snap soda bans, seed-oil menu labels, and more.
- Kennedy said in a statement that snap has used taxpayer dollars to “fuel america’s diabetes and chronic disease epidemics.”.
- Fixing that by restricting folks on snap from buying "junk food" while others can buy all the junk food they want is classist & paternalistic.
- When you are in poverty, your mindset is calories per dollar. This stuff is cheaper than the healthier stuff.
- Junk food bans miss the point: rfk jr. Should fix snap’s broken access to healthy food robert f. Kennedy jr.'s proposal to ban junk food from snap overlooks the program's fundamental flaws. Rather than imposing restrictions, enhancing access to healthy, convenient foods would better serve….
3. Impacto de los Recortes en la Seguridad Alimentaria y la Salud Pública.
Los recortes a SNAP, junto con la eliminación de programas de educación nutricional (SNAP-Ed) y la reducción de fondos para comidas escolares, son vistos como un ataque directo a la salud de los más vulnerables. Los expertos señalan que estas políticas tendrán el efecto contrario al deseado por Maha, aumentando la inseguridad alimentaria y la dependencia de opciones baratas y poco nutritivas.
- Experts say republican cuts to snap, previously known as food stamps, leave cheap, unhealthy foods like instant ramen as the only option.
- These proposed cuts to snap and wic are essentially going to starve out poor americans, in turn increasing healthcare expenditures, er visits, chronic disease, and nutrition inadequacy.
- Rfk is running a new weight loss for people it's called starve them. His idea is cut snap ebt free school lunches these kid's won't get diabetes or over weight. They will starve.
- Credible, science-based studies clearly show that snap reduces food insecurity, improves health outcomes and lowers health care costs.
- Starving young children by cutting off access to snap benefits is a good way to teach them how intermittent fasting helps the body. Maha rfk jr.
