What I see is that they are young, eloquent, and photogenic. They are getting millions of people to recognize that a) US healthcare sucks, and is part of why Americans live an average of four years less than Canadians do, and b) that industrial foods are creating epidemic levels of preventable chronic diseases, obesity, and premature death.
As to the rest, as my Dutch friend Henk would say: "Just because I shop at your store doesn't mean I have to buy everything you sell."
I see no need to create distractions. Lord knows there are so many of them already.
Casey Means is savagely critical of US healthcare, industrial agriculture and industrial food. Those are three incredibly powerful and toxic corporate monsters. We need more people calling down these killers.
I will grant you that Casey Means did not cover herself with glory during the COVID pandemic, but I could say the same about 99.9% of North American doctors.
For more information on the Means siblings as a source of inspiration and/or information, suggest reading these two pieces by Lehrman: https://substack.com/home/post/p-154905660 and https://substack.com/home/post/p-155163542.
