you know, street vendors, cooking."

Kind of odd to crop the quote like that.

    Rfk Jr is insane but the title is waaaay out of context.

    "you know, street vendors, cooking."

    He'll eat from a food truck!

    He was stopped by his staff before answering whether he'd eaten food found in trash cans. Kennedy has snorted cocaine from toilet seats so trash cans are a step up.

    I read that the dead raccoon penis was about a special bone that they have, which is sought after in some circles, especially Moonshiners. It's used to somehow regulate the flow of the moonshine, and they prize their particular bone.

    Apparently, that's what he was after. Once it's explained, it still doesn't make any sense at all.

    He's just a weirdo among weirdos. THAT makes sense.

    they place it on the output pipe of the still, it directs alcohol flow straight down. So would anything curved, but they had to make it weird. you can buy them off ebay.

    Genuinely one of the smartest people I have ever met, a former professor with multiple doctorates, got his lunch every day by digging in the trash outside his building and piecing together a meal from half eaten leftovers. He'd microwave it to sterilize.

    He also once gave me a fairly nice designer shirt (not the logo kind, actually nice), which he picked up at the bus stop covered in vomit, took home, and cleaned.

    At one point, he walked into the lab with a clearly used bowl reeking of marijuana, said he found it in a trash can, and had us analyze the THC content and alkaloid ratios as an exercise, because he had a DEA license.

    Lived into his 90s, was a self-made multi-millionaire, and spent his money on funding his research. Also he was fanatical about proper reduce, reuse, recycle. And he would get very pissed if you skipped those first two and went straight to recycle.

    That's cool. Was he the Secretary of Health for the USA too?

    Nope.

    But for all of RFK jr.'s many faults, I don't consider eating roadkill or stuff out of the garbage to be counted among them. Matter of fact, I consider both to be examples of not wasting food, which is good.

    Maybe, but most people don’t have a gag reflex when eating food from street vendors.

    He’s saying people would normally gag on the stuff he’s eaten.

    I've had stinky tofu from a street vendor, which is both a fairly normal food and absolutely something that might cause a person to gag.

    (As for the grossest thing I've eaten: one time, I found that beetles had infested my stash of buckwheat, so rather than letting them have it, I cooked it and skimmed them off when they floated to the top. I wouldn't do that again because I'm a vegetarian now...)

    Where from? If it's not Hunan (specifically Changsha) stinky tofu, it's not worth my time.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but I was in Taiwan. It did smell so bad while the vendor was still out of sight that I thought my friend was pranking me by leading me to an open sewer or something.

    Oh yeah, it still smells terrible but for some reason the Changsha variety (it's kind of fried and black) is delicious. They add some broth and chopped garlic and chili peppers on top.

    I have had Taiwanese coworkers, and I have tasted stinky tofu. As they pointed out, Westerners eat stinky cheese, so why be snooty? But I have to say my first experience of it was distressing.

    Natto, on the other hand, I managed to get used to fairly quickly.

    This man is insane:

    In an interview with Rosanne Barr, he seemingly without emotion said,

    “So I pulled over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van, because I was gonna skin the bear,”

    “It was in very good condition and I was gonna put the meat in my refrigerator.”

    “I had to go to the airport, and the bear was in my car, and I didn’t want to leave the bear in the car because that would have been bad,”

    “the little bit of the redneck in me” thought I have a bear carcus and a bike I need to get rid of, why not put both “in the bike lanes.”

    “I wasn’t drinking, of course, but people were drinking with me who thought this was a good idea,”

    “So we went and did that and we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it, or something.”

    “I wasn’t drinking, of course, but people were drinking with me who thought this was a good idea,”

    Riiiiight. The excuse of college kids caught in an embarrassing scenario, that's totally legit reasoning.

    Lol what the fuck? Food trucks are "food off the street"? These chucklefucks are so goddamn disconnected.

    That's usually GOOD FOOD. Sorry they don't serve caviar or raccoon penis you ritzy, worm-fucked assbasket.

    Imagine telling someone in 1960 that the ultimate destiny of the Kennedy dynasty would be "eating stuff they find in the street".

    Remember how Ukrainians always say "We are so lucky they are stupid"

    We should say same thing about this admin, and just keep getting people doing together consistently.

    The country will get better and reclaimed from this lunacy with more people doing.

    I don't see what's stupid about eating food from street vendors.

    Unless you just completely took the click-bait headline at face value and thought he was talking about literally eating food off the street. And if that's the case, maybe you should look in a mirror before calling anyone stupid.

    the sound of an old lawnmower pushing through a pile of spaghetti-rfk jr voice

    "Oh I do eat food of the street. In that we all live on the street of life. We are the life: bacteria, parasites, worms, skinbugs,... we are the road of life itself. It travels through us. We are the street itself.

    Anyway I have no direct preference if it only got hit by the bumper or if it has been run over by a tire. Both are good."

    Marketed drama to keep us distracted.

    Remember these guys are pawns. The real enemies use them specifically to distract you.

    By participating in their marketed division theater you are an enemy too.

    Understanding this is how we awaken and get humanity back on a natural path.
