The whole crunchy, raw milk drinking so liberal they looped over to republican crowd was a “surprise” vote for Trump last time and I was surprised they weren’t really addressed Biden/Harris more directly. At all? Bluntly? And I think they were a much larger contingent now.

The endless recalls for basic food like vegetables and meat have not helped imo. That really brought concern about food safety into the main stream in a way I hadn’t seen before.

I’ve seen comments from self described Harris voters who said things like “at least we might get safe food again” which is dubious considering who helped gut protections in the first place but I can see where they are coming from.

Food safety did not come across as a top concern for the current presidency but like gas prices, it is something that is important to the average person and you can’t avoid seeing the signs in stores and news about recalls day after day. Everyone has to eat and having recalls of so many basic foods is scary feeling for a lot of people. It sends a message that it’s not safe to buy and prepare food yourself in your own home anymore and sends people looking for answers.

I never understand how people can see recalls as proof all of our food is unsafe. The unsafe food has been discovered and is being removed from the food supply, that's proof the system works.

Recall there are people who steal mail in ballots, fill them out, and send them in to prove there is fraud. And then the get caught committing fraud and people still scream about how rampant mail in ballot fraud is. Same concept.

A lot of this goes back to basic literacy and the undermining of our education system. We don't trust science. We can't discern fiction from reality. We don't have a basic understanding of where our food comes from. And on and on and on.

Most of the webinars I attend nowadays are all about how to regain the trust of the public for things like public health, vaccines, and the other services the state/local government provides.

It's always so funny how the work that public health/works does (like water, food, communicable disease, healthcare) goes unnoticed and unappreciated until something bad happens and then everyone is like HELP US.

It's maddening.

It's the same thought process about folks upset that drugs are seized at the border - it means the system is WORKING, not failing.

The entirety of the Trad Wife sphere has come to me from accounts and articles talking about what’s wrong with it, the deceptions, and/or the neo-Natzi pipeline/white supremacy.

What the f*ck, America?

I’m not even trying hard to curate objections. Bursting the bubble to the fantasy is fairly easy, no?

Knowing we're going to have to listen to this MAHA stuff for at least the next 4 years makes me want to bang my head against a wall. Only a small percentage of our own personal behaviors (nutrition, exercise) contribute to our health outcomes. Social issues like access to healthcare, food security, financial stability, community, education, etc. are the large majority of factors that determine health outcomes.

Everything you mentioned, and also environmental pollution! Maybe he'll work on that....
