Now when COVID is almost over we have a lot of "armchair quarterbacks" suggesting INCORRECTLY that COVID was NOT very transmittable and deadly.
I fail to understand how anyone can be naïve enough to trust anything the govt says without extensive research since they have proven themselves to be untrustworthy by distorting facts and outright lying time and time again, not just relative to the pandemic but countless other topics. Particularly when discussing nutrition, the govt has been so dysfunctional with recommendations. Have you not noticed how overweight Americans are vs the rest of the world?

Patently false. Most Americans do not eat a properly balanced diet. Maybe you potentially could get enough potassium from foods, but most people won't/don't.
