    So is inflation an epidemic too? How about climate change? It all affects health! We should let the SG pass any law he wants!

      Again, they didn’t pass a law, they’re not a legislative body.

      But you bring up a good point, climate change is a public health crisis. I’d actually be worried if the Surgeon General wasn’t worried about it. Inflation’s just a symptom of capitalism though, you gotta get to the root of the problem if you want real change.

      Yes… Not the point you’re trying to make I guess.

      SG isn’t passing any laws. They are making a statement.

        I would argue that it does actually.

        It reduces the access to heathy food and health products that have a long-term impact on your health
