Dems wanted a healthy population to save money, Republicans want a healthy population so they can join the military to kill and die for imperial interest.
No, Republicans don’t want a healthy population. They’ll like about it to make it sound like it’s Dems fault, but none of Republican policy positions actually promote health. They don’t support informed eating (see RFKjr’s garbage food pyramid), or affordable health care, they want people to work more and longer, they want them stressed with zero down time, drinking poisoned water and contaminated food, breathing polluted air, and vulnerable to eradicated diseases.
RFK made a statement a while ago about eating healthier and less processed foods, which is completely expected.
What wasnt expected or normal is him listing military readiness as a primary reason for a healthy population. I can’t believe I haven’t seen anything about people disecting that section of the statement.
Not the same thing, but it’s also worth mentioning that free breakfasts in school were started by the Black Panthers, who knew that children would be able to learn more if they didn’t start the day hungry.
Healthy working class to exploit. Not that that means you should be unhealthy as an anti imperialist act. A healthy, informed working class is the most likely to have a successful revolt.

And paying for health insurance; come on, their lobby doesn’t spend so much money on Republican donors to be forgotten about!
Don’t forget ‘and to work longer’!
Republicans want a dumb population to make more republicans. Malnutrition definitely has negative impacts on education.

FWIW that’s what the national school lunch / free lunch program was largely about to begin with 🫠

Work there sometime and watch starving kids in many districts.
