As a non American, even I can see this is just a scam to further invade privacy and the data used to get increase health insurance costs

Having watched his actual statement, is not that they want your data. That's a red herring in the article.
But that the average American is so out of touch with how food --presumably bad, shitty food and nutrition-- interacts with their body, that them, the individual, being able to know of how, for example, that 2nd Coke, and bag of chips is screwing up your insulin levels, and how it get affected in real time could be a positive drive for change in lifestyle. The fact is that the USA has an obesity pandemic and most people's knowledge of nutritional science can be laughable at best. 60+% of Americans are overweight. And 33% are literally obese, including kids.
You do not have to buy a wearable. They are not making or forcing to you wear a wearable and they are not going to ask you to show papers before you want to enter a restaurant proving that you use or own a wearable. He said that he would prefer it because how do you empower people who know next to nothing? Is it the only way? Nope. Of course not, but the system has been so captured by interest groups that many changes may not be politically feasible.
They could be done in theory but not in practice right now. Europe had s superior take on nutrition than the USA, for example.Personally, I would never wear a wearable but I also spent a lot of time studying Nutritional Science and attempt to leave a healthy lifestyle. It is an extra load of work that cuts into other things and not many may want to do but it is one that it is worth doing for yourself and the family.
Additionally, I have friends who are Doctors and the concept of wearables is not always well received. Privacy concerns aside, the worry is that it can turn a lot of people into hypochondriacs if they do not fully understand some basics of human anatomy and take raw data out of context. Not to mention a waste of resources if people want to run tests for absolutely everything they think might be wrong with it. It can also be a source for unnecessary stress in some people.
Sometimes I want to buy juice that doesn’t have a shitload of sugar in it
You haven't researched as well as you think you have. Even freshly squeezed juice is unhealthy. You need the pulp too in order to slow the sugar metabolism, in which case you may as well just eat fruit.
Check Robert Lustig re sugars.

What about sporting insertables instead?

I'm gonna need a detailed explanation of exactly what you mean, for the purposes of clear and effective communication.

Insertables go into your butt.

What types of data does the US sell to advertisers? Do you have ANY evidence of the always listening mic? You'd figure after 10 years of this we'd have at least some evidence, right?
What types of data does the US sell to advertisers?
Types you haven't even thought of. Every type of data is sold, and then derivatives of data are sold. Directly collected data, inferred data, guesses, it's all packaged up.

A substantial part is that our food is filled with shit.
They add sugar to everything. Food marketing is insane, and so much of it should be illegal.
Sometimes I want to buy juice that doesn’t have a shitload of sugar in it. Getting a loaf of bread will involve eating extra sugar. The country subsidizes corn, so high fructose corn syrup is added to everything.
Unregulated hell capitalism means that food gets to be pumped full of shit. Broke and stressed people rely on convenience foods - which don’t need to be unhealthy but are purposefully made so with addictive ingredients.
Dont forget the rest of the world won't accept our meat standards either.

Go on...
Put the doll down fella

The government's job is to regulate sex toys so that all insertables have a flared end. MAGA wants to end all sex toy regulation. We should definitely protest this, and wave our dildos proudly.

Guess we’ll cut food stamps but tell people who can afford to to get a watch
Let them wear watches.

Thing is putting the horrific privacy concerns aside it’s not like it’s a bad idea from a health perspective. Everybody being simply more aware of the things their body is doing is immensely helpful on a societal scale.
Problem is there aren’t any devices that are local only or otherwise truly private. Apple stores your data locally on your phone which is good, but there’s no guarantee it’ll always be that way.
Pass a law that protects wearable health data under HIPAA and I’d consider it.

Ok RFK. Let's see you and all of Trump's squad do it first, and make sure it's public in realtime. I'd love to see timestamps each and every time he reads AOC tweets.

Years ago I purchased a Fossil Explorist Q wearable smartwatch. The first software update, about a month after I bought it, turned the device from a functional smartwatch into a brick that was so slow it was nearly nonfunctional.
The device was not powerful enough to run all the spyware they tried to pack into that update, turning it into an on wrist heater, occasionally getting Hot enough to burn me.
I've never seen a device so thoroughly destroyed by enshittification so quickly. That's experience turned me off of wearables forever. Maybe I'll make my own someday. Maybe I'll get a Pebble now that they're back-ish. I'll never get anything with wearOS on it again. Hell after the last year I might never get something with Android/iOS again either.

Revelation 13:16-17
New International Version
16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.Huh. No uproar from the people who believe in this shit? Weird.

Go on...
Just yours though. All of them.
