"Do you have any questions--" *all hands go up* "--about hospital food?" *all hands go down, but one* "And we won't be answering any questions about how hospital food relates to diarrhea or vaccines or autism or or or staging a fake murder crime scene for a bear!" *last hand slowly lowers*

👋 “Hi! Does Taco Bell grow their own lettuce? They don’t? Then why in the fuck are we investigating them?” P.S. - EVERYONE knew this would happen, just like they knew if we attacked Iran the Strait would be shut down, supply chain would be dismantled and gas would go sky high.

“Hi. I’d love nothing more than to eat fresh fruit and vegetables, but it seems that they are dangerous right now. Could you explain why that is? Also, how much money did we save by dismantling the programs that monitored our produce? Did that $ go straight into Elon Musk‘s bank account?”

Sorry a hospital is not a gourmet restaurant! It is literally a hospital and if you are eating hospital food, you are there for a reason!

He’s going to make hospital food worse. #ETTD He could just be a private citizen, maybe run a podcast and have a YouTube channel where he does shirtless jean-clad workout vids, but nooooo … the ego!

Perhaps he would be willing to take them from people who have been hospitalized because of the Cyclospora cayetanensis outbreak? They could ask about the food born illnesses the FDA & CDC USED TO TRACK but no longer do because the f RFK JR!

“Sir, are you prescribing hospital food to help stop the exploding diarrhea sweeping through the country?” “Sir, are you worried that the hospital food is also contaminated with explosive diarrhea?” “Sir, are people eating hospital food more or less likely to get explosive diarrhea?”

Well, yeah. We're enjoying yet another multi-state epidemic thanks to his lack of leadership, funding, or even a goddamned clue, and he doesn't want to be questioned about it because he has no answers. What's worse, they're going to comply & not question him about anything relevant.

Also, who can afford to go to the fucking hospital in this economy?! They cut healthcare to nothing and are taking a victory lap over HOSPITAL food?! What a joke.

Ask the questions anyway and let them get mad until they leave in a huff. Don’t stop asking the real questions. This is bullshit. Groceries are already so expensive and now we’re having to throw them away or risk getting sick. This is bullshit.

My old man voted for 47 bc he had RFK Jr. backing him, which meant that "Kennedy will make sure we all eat healthy and only have pure foods now!" He also thinks that you can leave butter to sit out for w/o being refrigerated, and it won't go bad bc "it is just pure butter!"

Science experiment on my counter from a hospital. It’s a blueberry muffin and I’m waiting for it to mold. 7 months and counting.

I appreciate Aaron posting this clip, but, what happened next? Did any journalist ask a supposed "off-topic" question? Did anybody push back? Did anybody ask a carefully crafted question that was "on-topic" but broached the larger issues?

"I notice you mentioned 'feta Greek salads.' Is it safe to serve uncooked produce to people already in the hospital considering we're in the middle of a Cyclospora outbreak that's already sickened thousands of Americans and we still don't know the source?"

The head of Health and Human Services refuses to take questions about the explosion of food-borne diarrhea ripping through the country right now. He’s supposedly in charge of that kind of thing! Who else should be expected to answer questions about explosive diarrhea?

Don’t tell me RFK Jr doesn’t want to be held accountable for the explosive diarrhea outbreak he’s made worse by firing inspectors who would have been overseeing it 🧐🧐

Then every reporter in that room should have left! Why does he even want to talk about hospital food when their families can’t bring in food from the million of eateries that are contributing to the obesity epidemic!
