Fox News Host Makes Controversial Claims About European Food

Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt has sparked controversy by claiming that pasta and pizza in Europe are lower in calories than in the United States. Earhardt, who is known for her carb-heavy diet, made the assertion during a recent episode of “Outnumbered.” “When we go to Europe, we can eat pasta, we can eat pizza, we don’t gain any weight,” Earhardt declared. “You feel fresh. You feel clean.” However, Earhardt’s claim has been met with skepticism by many, including medical professionals and food experts. The host has attributed the alleged difference in calorie content to the use of pesticides in American food, which she believes are not present in European products.

Trump Nominates Vaccine Skeptic for Health and Human Services Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his health and human services secretary. Kennedy is a vaccine skeptic who has repeatedly made unfounded claims linking childhood vaccines to autism. During a press conference on Monday, Trump also suggested that he may make vaccinations a matter of parental choice. “I don’t like mandates. I’m not a big mandate person,” Trump said when asked about schools requiring children to be vaccinated. Kennedy’s nomination has drawn criticism from scientists and medical organizations, who warn that his anti-vaccine views could jeopardize public health. They point to the overwhelming scientific evidence that vaccines are safe and effective in preventing diseases.

Fox News Commentator Extols Benefits of “Clean Up Our Food”

Ainsley Earhardt has expressed her enthusiasm for Kennedy’s proposed “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, which aims to eliminate pesticides in agriculture and promote organic foods in school lunches. Earhardt has echoed Kennedy’s unfounded claims about the dangers of pesticides and chemicals in the food supply. She has asserted that these substances are responsible for a range of health problems, including autism and cancer.

Calls for Tighter Regulations on Produce and Livestock

Despite the mockery that Earhardt’s comments have drawn, some critics have argued that there is a need for stricter regulations on produce and livestock in the United States. They point to the fact that Europe has higher standards for food safety and quality than the U.S. “We should be making fun of this, of course, but it would be a fantastic thing for all of us if our agricultural laws were even a little bit as stringent as Europe’s,” said former Ilhan Omar spokesperson Isi Baehr-Breen.

Social Media Reactions

Earhardt’s comments have drawn a barrage of mockery and criticism on social media. Many users have compared her remarks to the satirical film Idiocracy, which depicts a future where society has fallen into decline due to a lack of critical thinking. “We’re one step away from ‘Brawndo’s got what plants crave,'” tweeted Washington Monthly political editor Bill Scher, referencing the energy drink featured in the film. “They have lower calorie pesticides in Italy,” joked Gizmodo tech reporter Matt Novak.
