The slippery appeal of RFK Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again movement

Vox quotes Holly Buck in an article about the slippery slope of RFK’s “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Radical individualists come to environmentalism from a different place than other people who support the cause. For that reason, they also favor different solutions, says Buck. The Kennedy supporters Buck has spoken with often tell her they’re “fed up” with mainstream approaches to climate action like carbon offsets and alternative energy sources. Rather than push for scalable big-government solutions like investments in renewable energy, she says, people in this subgroup favor more individualistic approaches that don’t restrict their freedom, like strengthening regenerative agriculture for small local farms.
