New Englanders are ready for war after RFK Jr. threatens to take on Dunkin': "The American Revolution started in Massach

Massachusetts”

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pitted himself against the state of Massachusetts by threatening Dunkin’ Donuts. At a “Make America Healthy Again” rally in Austin, Texas, last week, he targeted Dunkin’ and Starbucks over the sugar content of their coffee drinks.

Dunkin’ lovers are ready for a new American Revolution now.

RFK Jr. comes for Dunkin’

Word about RFK Jr. pushing a war on Dunkin’ started spreading across X on Wednesday, sparking severe and comical backlash. During his recent MAHA rally, the secretary claimed he would make the chain try to prove its menu items are “safe.”

“We’re going to ask Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, ‘show us the safety data that shows that it’s okay for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it,'” he said. “I don’t think they’re gonna be able to do it.”

What exactly is he asking for here? Dunkin’ to do long term health studies on their food?

This is stupid and something Republicans would be screaming about if a Democrat proposed it.

Guess there is a new nanny in town!

In a short period of time, republicans have reversed almost every policy they used to hold dear. In other words, they never could be believed and they'll change again in a heartbeat if it benefits them and their donors.

Why a teen girl? That's too much sugar for any human in one hit. Why should a teen girl be any more at risk than anyone else. Maybe she'll put on weight. What a sexist pig.
