President Trump plans to appoint Dr. Mehmet Oz as one of the members of his Council on Sport, Fitness, and Nutrition, the White House announced Friday.

The council has been around since 1956 and promotes programs that encourage people to be more active and to make healthy eating choices. Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots was also among the 20 appointees.

Oz, the host of the "Dr. Oz Show," interviewed Trump when he was running for president. During the segment Trump provided a one-page report typed by his longtime physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein. He revealed that he was overweight, takes a statin, and had not been in the hospital since he had his appendix removed as a child.

Oz wrote on Twitter that he has already been working to support programs for children's health and signaled that he looked forward to improving nutrition in schools.

Oz, a heart surgeon, has come under fire in the past by other doctors and by lawmakers who say that he has promoted unscientific medical approaches on his show. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told Oz during a hearing on weight-loss scams that "the scientific community is almost monolithic against you in terms of the efficacy of the three products you call miracles."

Oz, who came to prominence after being promoted by Oprah Winfrey, also drew criticism in 2011 when he did a show on the alleged dangers of arsenic in apple juice and another show in 2012 that focused on turning gay people straight, a practice that has been rejected by medical associations.

And people wonder why Trump is so despised. He appoints the most unqualified people, among other things.

I hear Doctor Oz is a great surgeon but he does things that he should probably keep himself out of.

Kinda like Trump. Trump is 'probably' a good businessman. Shouldn't be president, tho.

WTF. I couldn't tell if this was real or not because it is so ridiculous.

This is one of the most ludicrous things I've seen happen under Trump so far.

It's a good plan for Trump and the Republicans. They install former business CEOs or other connected assholes to kill regulations to make everyone richer at the expense of everyone else or put in idiots who have no business running things to run their departments terribly to make people lose faith in the government besides themselves of course since they know morons will vote for them anyway.

I'm pretty sure that Knux guy is trolling.

Dr. Oz is a man who allows psychic mediums on his show so that they can communicate with the audience's dead family members.

Dr. Oz has no credibility in the realm of fitness and nutrition.

What annoys me to no end is that in America, we elevate doctors at the expense of dietitians, people who are, you know, actually qualified to talk about nutrition?

Most doctors don't know anything about nutrition. They usually take about 23 hours worth of nutrition training. Yes, I'm being serious.

I feel like a lot of people don't realize this.

This is pretty much the average citizen's mentality on anything the government is doing, unless it actively stares them in the face in real life and starts throwing hands it's not going to matter to them.

There's different positions in medicine.

I would not expect someone who doesn't know surgery to be my surgeon in the same way that I would not expect my surgeon to be my general practitioner unless he's educated in both fields.

if Dr. Oz is...well you'd never know from his show..

If you don't count the 7-8 million votes that Hillary received from illegal immigrants, then yes, Trump did win the popular vote.
