Long time lurker who posts something every few years, but check the forum every day. I apologize if this has already been posted, but I could not find this anywhere on the forum. I just saw a video that may force me to vote for President Trump in November:

The video is RFK Jr. talking about the crisis we have in America with our health, that is driven greatly by our diet. If Trump really jumps on this issue and makes it a part of his campaign, I think I will finally be forced to vote for him. In 2016 I wrote in John Kasich. In 2020, I wrote in Ben Sasse. I would have voted for Tulsi Gabbard in 2020 if she had won the Democratic primary, but Sasse was far and away my favorite politician at that time.
I sincerely believe that the real issue with America's health crisis stems greatly (maybe mostly) from what we eat. There is just no other country in the world which has the obesity problem we have. And when I was growing up in Indiana, we did not have all of the allergies, chronic diseases and food sensitivities that seem so prevalent today. This is a real issue, and while I am conservative, I would wholeheartedly support regulations against toxic substances in our food. This is an issue that impacts all of us in terms of quality of life, longevity and out of control medical expenses, so I am not sure if there is a more important topic to address for our future - unless AI starts forcing us to eat toxic food in a few years. So maybe AI. And war in the Middle East. Ok, there are a lot of really important issues, but I could really get behind leaders who seriously start addressing our health by focusing on the food we eat.
This one video by RFK Jr. might push me to finally vote for Trump - but it would be a very begrudging vote. Although, the below video also is pushing me in that direction:
