Summary

In today’s solo episode, I’m exploring some hot-button topics surrounding RFK Jr. and the Obama administration, especially in relation to food policy. I’ll unpack the criticism currently surrounding RFK Jr. and share why I’ve been a long-time fan of his environmental and health activism. Then, we’ll examine the Obama administration’s handling of GMOs, school lunch programs, and processed foods. While many praise the Obamas for their efforts to improve public health, I’ll reveal the lesser-known policies that may have hindered true progress, especially when it comes to our food system. Tune in for a closer look at the intersection of politics, food, and health.

0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. Today's episode is a solo one.
0:05.6	And we're going to dive into all things Obama. Now, the reason why I'm doing this is because I have been seeing a lot of talk online.
0:14.4	There's a lot of criticism right now happening for RFK Jr. And actually, I want to dive a little bit into what RFK Jr. has done in his career,
0:22.0	because I don't think a lot of people know everything that he's done. I've personally been following
0:26.1	his work for about eight years now. I've been a huge fan of his because of all of the advocacy
0:29.9	and environmental activism work that he has done for us. But I don't think a lot of people know this
0:34.8	because I think a lot of people are just seeing the criticism online more recently. So we're going to dive into that. And then also the reason that I'm
0:41.0	going to talk about the Obama administration and all the things that went down regarding our food
0:45.6	and GMOs and the school lunch program is because I'm seeing a lot of people say online while
0:52.7	they're criticizing RFK that the Obama's did a lot
0:56.1	for our health. And I know a lot about actually what happened during the Obama administration,
1:02.3	especially when it comes to GMOs. And I am not trying to single out one president in particular,
1:09.3	but I'm talking about him in particular because
1:11.3	I know a lot of what went down because I was paying attention during this time. I actually
1:16.0	voted for Obama both terms. Oh, well, actually I voted for him one term. I had the intention of
1:21.0	voting for him for the other term, but I was on tour and don't love admitting this, but I didn't
1:25.5	vote that time because I was on tour and I was out of town and I didn't, I was, but I didn't vote that time because I was on tour and I was out of town
1:27.6	and I didn't, I was young and I didn't know how to do a ballot and vote when I was out of town
1:33.9	and not in my city on the day of election. But anyways, this is another story for another day.
1:38.9	But just wanted to say if I get any criticisms back, the reason I'm specifically going after Obama is because
1:44.5	there are a lot of things that happened. I'm not saying that any other president hasn't also done
1:50.0	things and passed certain things into law and reverse certain policies that go against our food
