Ever thought about why the U. S. spends a lot on healthcare but doesn't get the best results? Let's chat about that. Recently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was chosen for a big health job. Some say he's not right for it because he questions some health stuff. But let's look at what's really happening.

Our food industry has a big part to play. More adults are getting sick from obesity and diabetes. Even kids are getting diabetes more often. And guess what? Some foods that are okay in other countries are not okay here. Like Froot Loops and Mountain Dew, they have stuff in them that's banned elsewhere.

Now, let's talk about vaccines. We all know they save lives. But there are questions about some vaccines. Like, why are babies getting vaccinated for diseases they can't get yet? And why are there still vaccines with mercury in them in some countries?

A big issue is trust. People are worried that big companies and health folks aren't always telling the full truth. Like with a drug called Aduhelm. It was supposed to help with Alzheimer's, but even the people who check drugs weren't sure it worked.

Some people say Kennedy is not the right person because he's not a doctor. But neither were the last few people in his job. And he's not against vaccines, he just thinks people should have a choice.

So, what's the deal? Maybe it's time to look at our health system with fresh eyes. It's like a big ship, and maybe it needs a new captain to steer it right.
