Absolutely agree! I cannot shop the grocery stores anymore with good conscience between the "apeel" coatings on the organic produce and the toxic chemical slurries in the other food with "natural and artificial" flavors...it's maddening! BIG RESET NEEDED! They should not be allowed to use words like "natural". We don't want our kids eating the stuff that the rest of the world bans...it's CRIMINAL!

I’m praying that Peter hotez will be the first change to be made with a notice of layoff, and whoever the twisted man who’s massacred the chicken farms across the lands is cut off from further destructive decisions.
Very thought-provoking article! My feeling is this: transparency regarding risk, and from there, leave it up to the individual or their parent. If I choose to go helmetless or seatbeltless, BUT am driving a scooter or an old VW Bug down a rural road in South Dakota, my risk is less than if riding a jacked-up Harley or a Porsche 911 down I-5 near Seattle. I guess the question then becomes: who provides transparency? How is transparency kept neutral?
Healthy choices need to be available, but not mandated! The last time I shopped for Mayonnaise, for example, I read the labels of everything on the shelf and the ingredients lists were all the same, so now I get a shipment once a month. Some practices like glyphosate treatment of wheat and most synthetic food dyes need to go! Give John Q Public a choice and a little education and he will make the right choices much of the time and if not he will at least know he isn’t.
I am old enough to remember a time when McDonalds hamburgers and fries were remarkably wholesome!
Absolutely don’t need want mandates; people should learn to research food ingredients 100%- I also read so many mayonnaise labels, & didn’t like any of the shelf products. So, I came home & looked up recipes to make my own mayo, ketchup, & barbeque sauce! Decided against making mayo- even though it’s so easy, but evidently a little tool is needed, called an Inversion mixer, or something like that. Guess this unique device mixes the oil/egg ratio much better t& quicker than an Oster blender!
MacDonald and sugar drinks... It isn't about saying you can't eat these things, but assuring that they are as healthy as possible. Coke in Mexico is made with real sugar. Coke in the US is made with high fructose corn syrup which contains glyphosate. The burger and bun have similar toxins that are prohibited in most countries.
In the 1950s all the scenes dealing with legal proceedings, began with the promise to tell the TRUTH, the WHOLE TRUTH and NOTHING, but the TRUTH! it appears today, it is totally opposite...LYING is the new buzzword....or evading the TRUTH. In the past, a man's word was his bond, because he was speaking from his belief in the Almighty. The world sure lost its ballast or trust in the TRUTH, which stems from the Creator. The LIES are tearing the whole world apart!
If all people are truly and properly informed, they should be able to choose what they inject, ingest, or otherwise use — as long as:
1. Their individual actions do not hurt others who do not consent (e.g., vaccine shedding, secondhand smoke).
2. They take responsibility for adverse outcomes of their actions, including financial responsibility.
—
That said, TRUE INFORMED CONSENT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST!!! Sadly, few are educated well enough or research well enough to give true informed consent, especially regarding medical products. Additionally, new facts come to light, so true informed consent is difficult to achieve even when truth isn’t censored and individuals are educated about the products.
__
So, it’s reasonable to require accurate product labeling, which otherwise could be construed as “nanny state,” but is part of informed consent.
It’s also reasonable for government to research and publish health advice, but NEVER to use non-government, third-party funding in that research or publication. People should be free to heed or ignore such research and advice.
Government NEVER should be allowed to create, market, or financially benefit from ANY product that government also regulates.
Finally, no product manufacturer or administrator should be granted liability protection for their products (e.g., vaccines, pesticides, herbicides, cars, what have you). This goes double for products are administered to people who do not or cannot grant informed consent (e.g., mandated or coerced vaccines, cloud seeding, weather/geoengineering). If the product is “too expensive” to provide without liability protection, that product is too dangerous to exist.
Interesting you mention “cloud seeding/geo-engineering, or also “weather modification” (or weather manipulation). In Colorado, the people who cloud seed are supposed to Notify the Public when & where this technique will take place. But, the companies, or whom ever has the money to cloud seed, don’t seem to follow this required protocol (at least I’ve not been able to find notices of upcoming seeding events), for Colorado.
Unfortunately, few of the state laws about cloud seeding and weather modification have teeth. I hope you can work with your Colorado legislators to change this in your state.
I assumed there are going to be “powerful opponents” in government, & I appreciate the links you shared, thank you. I began reading the Colorado Dept of Natural Resource site, in particular to cloud / weather modification, as it is called in CO; the procedures that have to be adhered to by participants, is of course, long & very strict. I intend to write letters to a few legislators, & senators hoping to see if I get any real response. This is a long process of course, but everyday I take photos of cloud seeding planes overhead my rural area. If we have sunshine, it’s short term lately, & I’m not the only person that feels this process & technique of silver & iodine is not safe for anyone, anything, or our planet. What is the end goal? Trying to produce more rain or snow? Not sure that is actually happening in my county anyway! I will check these links & read the information. Thank you again!
A few years age I was introduced to homoeopathic therapy and products. In recent years the FDA, the name protecting us, has been banning the use of these products regardless of their proven effectiveness. I would like to RFK stop this interference in my right to decide how I wish to treat my self.
Remember when NAC was pulled off the shelves almost overnight when tptb realized that it might be helpful for Covid? I had already ordered some, and without notification, Amazon substituted another product from the same mfgr. Last August, the FDA issued a "warning" against purchasing or using glycolic acid (AHAs) and TCA's in skin care products. Of course, wholesalers complied, lowering effective concentrations and diluting with lactobionic acid and urea. Adding insult, they tried to mislead us by using identical packaging except for the fine print. The "Med Watch" says “peel” products but includes the glycolic acid products that are extremely safe and effective. The FDA should not be able to “warn” retailers about selling legitimate OTC products IMO. I suspect that dermatology groups were behind this. How about statins? The FDA mandated a reduction of the lipid lowering component (monacolin K) in OTC products to 3%, instead of the 10% required for effectiveness. Monacolin K from red yeast rice is chemically identical to the prescription drug lovastatin. Someone neglected to tell the FDA that you're not supposed to patent naturally occurring compounds. Europe held off on this same restriction for a long time, but folded in about 2010. Interesting that the limited concentration of monacolins was explained due to "potential safety concerns," but higher doses in statins are safe, doncha know. /s I'd like RFK Jr. to get the FDA the heck out of all OTC products.
I might have posted this link before. It's a great article published by Brownstone Institute, illustrating how when government gets involved in trying to fix a perceived "problem", they inevitably make it worse. It's been a favorite rant of mine ever since I worked in Superior Court and saw what government regulation of drugs has accomplished: nothing!
I remember being hyper-focused on the pending Supreme Court decisions on COVID "vaccine" mandates a few years ago. I even listened in to some of the remarks of the individual justices. Part a) was general mandates via OSHA; and b) mandates for healthcare workers. All of this, at all levels; in the courts, the executive, the legislature; turned on premise/axis that the federal bureaucracies were acting in their "expert" capacities on behalf of the people's best interests. The only big problem with that - and it's a whopper - is that they really weren't. What, I wonder, will the crash look like? Interesting times.
Robert, you speak truth. I echo your concerns. This comes down to philosophical terms, and there is a wide range of beliefs. What is the role of government? Personally, I lean libertarian, and would prefer a limited government. I wear a seatbelt because I think it is prudent but I don’t think it should be mandatory.
I read a health bulletin that led me to realize something very disturbing.
Rather than GMO (genetic modification) to create resistance to glyphosate in Roundup, Big Agriculture is simply spraying the No GMO crops with glyphosate just prior to harvest. This withers the stalks and vines, drying (killing) the crop so that the harvest yields more grain.
I can only imagine how this multiplies the amount of poison in non-organically grown (restaurant) food. And even in the next field over, for that matter.
Day 32 of 40 food fast (Bible Manna). I could eat a cold bowl of Alpo right now. I am counting down Day 8 to Day 0 instead. That makes it a little easier. I am planning on a salmon and salad to break fast.
I first read about this many years ago, as there has been a core group of scientists and activists that has been trying for a long time to get glyphosate banned in America. It would be a great accomplishment of this administration if they got that to happen.
Having been subjected to a harmful medical procedure not needed, explained, or consented to, I find the need for sovereignty over our own bodies being at my center of any make anything great again movement. I'd still like to know what was forced inside of my body eventually sending me to the hospital. If the government cannot advocate for a citizen in this regard, what's the point of having a government at all?
I think the first step is to get unbiased health data through unbiased research that is free from conflicts of interest. You cannot effectively assess the cost/benefit ratio of a given vaccine or schedule of vaccines if you are starting with a bias that all vaccines are safe. You need studies that are designed to fully assess safety of vaccines against inert placebo controls in robust, long-term clinical trials. This has not been done for any vaccines currently in use. So proponents of vaccines tell us that there is "no evidence" of a link between vaccines and autism because they haven't actually done a real study. Absence of evidence is not proof of the null hypothesis. But so many people in public health believe that robust safety studies on vaccines have been conducted and vaccines were proven to be safe. This is just a myth because the safety aspect of past clinical trials were a joke. But this is what happens when vaccine manufacturers fund their own studies and are given 100% liability protection. So the first step in MAHA has to be a total revamp of how we fund science and how pharmaceuticals get approved.
Absolutely agree! I cannot shop the grocery stores anymore with good conscience between the "apeel" coatings on the organic produce and the toxic chemical slurries in the other food with "natural and artificial" flavors...it's maddening!

Lauran, Agreed. Farmer's Markets are our best recourse.
Better yet- grow our own from trusted seed suppliers of Non- GMO, heritage breeds. Anyone know of good sources?

lots of really challenging issues that absolutely should be deliberated before then are decided for us by bureaucrats

A great resource that will lead you to many others is "Cloud Seeding Experiment in Idaho" https://eolson47.substack.com/p/cloud-seeding-experiment-in-idaho.
Idaho currently has two weather modification bills in the hopper. Here are some Substack links about them:
-- S1064 - Cloud seeding: https://substack.com/profile/68304299-big-e/note/c-91986637
-- S1065 - Weather modification: https://substack.com/@bige47/note/c-93657132
Whether (weather) they'll succeed (seed) is a big question. Powerful opponents in the state's industry and bureaucracy.

Should have said get the influencers out of the FDA.
This is an issue I'm just beginning to realize is more important than I thought. CHD put out a documentary about homeopathy that was very educational.
Canada is more aggressively, acting on the same process. Bad enough outlawing guns, now vitamins are a threat too

That would be wonderful to ban glyphosate, & polysorbate- 40, 60, 80!
