Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. derangement syndrome has struck the Fake News Media as he appears poised to become America’s next Health and Human Services Secretary. And they are falling flat on their faces in an embarrassing fashion.
RFK Jr. has laid out a bold plan to rid the FDA and other federal agencies of the deeply embedded corruption prioritizing corporate profiteering over public health.
One of his top goals will be to rid our foods of the toxic chemicals, including food dyes, that are making Americans sick. Here he is in a video explaining how the FDA is signing off on the alleged poisoning of Americans.
RFK Jr. has singled out Froot Loops, a popular cereal, to help further his point. He has consistently pointed out that while other developed countries use natural ingredients to color the cereal, the U.S. uses food dyes that are illegal in several countries.
This week, The New York Times tried to dunk on RFK, Jr. with a “fact check” regarding Froot Loops. The writers tried to claim he was wrong to question why the U.S. version has so many artificial ingredients compared to the Canadian version which has far fewer.
Here is the paragraph in question:
Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label.
According to The Times, there is no difference between the Canadian and United States versions of Froot Loops as long as you ignore the harmful chemicals in the U.S. version and the natural colors in Canada’s Froot Loops.
In other words, the paper inadvertently admits RFK, Jr. is RIGHT when they were trying to fact-check him.
This self-own was not lost on X users, who responded by roasting The New York Times, causing the story to go viral and blow up in the paper’s face.
This is beyond parody.
The New York Times says RFK Jr. is “WRONG” about US foods containing artificial ingredients and dyes …
And then says US Froot Loops contain “red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene” while the Canadian version doesn’t. So …… pic.twitter.com/JKMc1V0ZfF

“As you see, the ingredient list is just completely identical, except the US product contains formaldehyde, cyanide, and nearly undetectable levels of saxitoxin”

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how were the Froot Loops? https://t.co/7dwI1VxnbW

The great irony is that it’s the Froot Loops at The New York Times who have decimated its credibility. https://t.co/Dt6NzJEDMa

This “fact check” from the NYT is wild. Why have fruits and veggies when you can have lab-made chemicals?

LMAO, Canadian froot loops and American froot loops are identical, except for all the bad shit in the American version—fact check of the century. https://t.co/1LpCD0pwe6
