Free Market Small Government Deregulikashun YEE-HAW!
CNN is Ellison News. I don’t care who they cite it’s untrustworthy.
It’s a shit article. But with nuggets:
A doctor petitioned the FDA to ban BHA in 1990, but no action had been taken until the FDA announced it would reexamine the chemical’s safety in February.
Meanwhile the food dyes RFK wanted to ban are now OK again.
And even if the FDA were informed, no way a senior FDA official would accept bribes.
I don’t think of having ‘shit nuggets’ as a positive attribute, but uh…
There’s always pristine kernals of corn…
Yea cnn, cbs shouldn’t be posted any longer as legitimate news
It needs to be the social stigma. I don’t expect everyone in the country to instantly pick up arms and overthrow a government but for fuck sake pull the plug and just remove yourself from these places userbase. Its easier the more you do it, I promise. At least voice the voice you do have while you still have it.
at this point i pretty much assume that if it’s sold in flashy packaging (or the generic version of same), then it’s sus
it’s not the one chemical-laden ultraprocessed crap meal that kills you, it’s decades of eating it every day. same as cigarettes. and like big tobacco, food corps will fight tooth and nail for deregulating, loosening rules, blocking laws, etc., so they can keep putting garbage in your food so it costs them less while they charge you more
The EWG promoted vaccine/autism links at one point. I’m not suggesting that it’s worthless, but it’s not infallible.
This CNN article pretty much says that maybe if we love them enough, the president and the HHS secretary will save us from the machinations of the evil food empire, not by getting the FDA to function, but by “sweeping reform.”
The truth becomes more expensive every day.
Re: the bull testicles, do they come pre-seperated from the bull or do I need to really upgrade my medical and dental insurance first?
“The only way to be sure your bull testicles are free-range organic whole food goodness is to raise the bulls yourself, which is why we’re procuring 1,000 male calves for 4H clubs around the nation” – RFK jr., probably
I mean, I half agree with the reporting. I have an unusual allergy. It does not show up on the list of allergens that they list because like, I’ve met three people my entire life who share my allergy and I’ve met a lot of people. It sometimes shows up in bouillon and some places include bouillon as an ingredient. And then just list “spices”. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck I hate that, I don’t want to get sick just because you are ashamed you don’t make your own broth. So yeah, even if I don’t agree with their arguments, I agree with their conclusion that even the tiniest ingredient needs to be listed.
And this is the third reason I will never buy American food ever again.
I assume you’re not from the US, but it is funny to think about. ‘oh darn I forgot to get eggs, gotta cross the border again brb 2h’
What’s the first and the second one?
Threatening countries and economic war with tariffs.
Who was putting Aminitas in food? Was it some loophole thing to sell magic mushrooms legally?
Amanitas are not “magic mushrooms” in that they do not contain psilocybin, and are fully legal, just heavily stigmatized. I’ve tried them and found them to be the single greatest substance I’ve taken for anxiety, but I’ve stopped taking them because I have doubts about their safety. Chubby Emu on youtube has an episode about a guy who died after taking them, for example.
So if you are inclined to try them, do your research first. Extensively. And keep in mind that even the science on these fungi is still far from complete.
I’ve found them in the wild but wouldn’t dare eat them. I hear you’re supposed to peal the skin off the top and smoke it, but I’m not doing that either.
As far as getting them in the wild, you just have to be sure to forage where the air and soil is free from pollutants (as far as that is feasible anyway), then clean and dehydrate them.
As far as safety goes, the conventional wisdom is that you want to decarboxylate them. If I recall, there are two main active ingredients in amanitas: muscimol, and ibotenic acid. It’s believed that one of these is safe, and the other not so much. But the whole thing really isn’t very clear, and we certainly don’t have any reliable long term data on habitual use. Anyway, the process just involves simmering them in a solution of water and citric acid, which converts the unsafe substance into the safe one.
And of course dose is a large part of safety.
Wait where can I get these hallucinatory foodstuffs. Amanitas food? Really? That sounds pretty bullshit.
Probably make you shit through the eye of a needle.
