I&#8217;m not going to pick his brain to find out exactly which of those things are true. I just kind of assume that none of them are?

He has made reducing ultra-processed foods and environmental toxins from foods a priority, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/health\/kids-health\/rfk-jr-children-dire-chronic-disease-health-report-rcna208544\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">NBC News<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s certain things he oversees that seem to be supported in a bipartisan way &#8212; like getting terrible toxic stuff out of our kids food,&#8221; Pratt said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that\u2019s a great thing. If you just do that, that&#8217;s amazing. I&#8217;d hate to be so mired in hatred for the president that any success from his administration is something I&#8217;d be having an allergic reaction to,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;To be like, &#8216;Oh, well, if they do it, I don&#8217;t want it to happen. I&#8217;ll put Clorox in my children&#8217;s cereal myself!&#8217; Be reasonable here. There&#8217;s certain things that would be a good thing to have.

There&#8217;s this proverb, Proverbs 26:20, &#8216;For lack of wood, the fire will go out.&#8217; So somebody tweeted something, it&#8217;s not real, and 300,000 people liked it.
