Oz made high food costs — and his sympathy over them — central to his campaign. But unearthed footage shows that he once praised high food prices for this perplexing reason. (via The ReidOut Blog)
, has tried to tie his opponent, former Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, to inflation. The thinking is simple, albeit dubious: try to weaponize Americans’ anger over high prices against Democrats … even if the prices aren’t the direct result of Democratic policies.
In the footage, Oz is seen speaking about health at the ritzy Aspen Institute more than a decade ago. He argues that high food prices are good because they prohibit people from purchasing and eating some foods that could be considered bad for them. In fact, he specifically says, high food prices should be used to counter government subsidies to farmers, which have been used to lower food costs for consumers.
To be clear, when Oz says “you” wouldn’t be eating a lot of meat in this scenario, he likely means those who wouldn’t be able to afford it at a higher price point. I feel quite confident that wealthy people — say, in Oz's tax bracket — wouldn’t let a few extra dollars stop them from chowing down on all the meat their hearts desire.
