Title: Is RFK a good chap after all?

I have hitherto thought that he's a dangerous loony, lot a lot of this makes sense. The US certainly needs to tighten up its food safety regulations, to deal with horrors such as chlorination chicken.

When I first became aware of his outlook on things, I thought he seemed a bit of a mixed bag. Still perpetrating the garbage about the supposed dangers of vaccination which he learned from the snake oil salesman, struck-off doctor Andrew Wakefield (who'd only read one out of date book on virology before he came up with his totally discredited ideas). But his misgivings about the power and unscrupulous behaviour of Big Pharma, and his remarks about food regulations etc all seem perfectly valid and good common sense.
