Make no mistake about it...RFK is the most important person in this coming administration.

No....they're toxic because they're toxic

Some food additives that are banned in Europe but not in the United States include:

Potassium bromate
A suspected carcinogen that's used to strengthen dough in baked goods. The International Agency for Research on Cancer considers it a possible human carcinogen.

Azodicarbonamide (ADA)
A whitening agent in cereal flour and dough conditioner that breaks down into cancer-causing chemicals during baking.

Sudan dyes
Also known as Azo dyes, these are thought to cause genetic defects and allergic skin reactions. They are often added to brightly colored spices like chili powders, curries, and paprika.

Aspartame
Studies by the Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Center of the European Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences (ERF) claim it increases several malignancies in rodents.

Potassium sorbate
A preservative used to suppress molds and yeasts in foods, wines, and personal care products. In-vitro studies suggest it is toxic to DNA and has a negative affect on immunity.

Tip of the iceberg

Okay, the problem with these studies are that the amount they give these rodents is the equivalent to feeding a truckload of these chemicals to a human.

Agree.....

Given the lack of available human lifetimes...
It's an imperfect test at best.

The nation is gaining weight...not sure McDonald's is the main culprit. Also don't know for a fact that people are more sedentary today than they were in yesteryear... but I know many people will make that assumption.

I see fat people the gym all the time. What are they doing wrong?

As a fat guy who sometimes goes to the Gym, I would say, "not going consistently".

I know my diet, despite Mrs. B131's best efforts, isn't where it should be. You ever get scolded in Mandarin? It's not fun.

I also know that genetics is an issue. My mother (B. 1931- D. 1983) was an overweight woman from her mid-20s.

Have you been out to a city sidewalk lately? The obesity epidemic has reached pandemic proportions!
The American public is being poisoned by a gaggle of mafioso corporate food suppliers like ConAgra, Archer-Daniels- Midland and Monsanto.... To name three of the most outstanding offenders. It's no accident that you hardly ever hear their names but they play an outsized role been shaping legislation pertaining to the FDA and the food industry in general. These are corporate Giants with very deep pockets and absolutely no morals. If RFK can make some headway against what is certainly going to shape up to be a war the American public can only benefit from it.

Jo

Didja see his endorsement of McDonald's? He's not fit for the job he groveled for.

You think Trump is going to help people deal with obesity? He's more likely to make the problem WORSE because MONEY is number ONE, TWO and TEN THOUSAND and everything in between.

Kennedy has previously taken different positions on the issue, including restrictions on when a woman can access an abortion. He told Reuters he thought every abortion was a "tragedy" but that it should be a woman's right "throughout the pregnancy."

Late-term abortions are "horrible, but I don't think that there's any woman in the world would want to carry a baby to eight months and then have an abortion" without some extenuating circumstance.

Gee, he sounds just like someone else we all know!

As I warned way back in 2016, Trump is leading his cult followers into the far left cave.

Now you sound like a Democrat.

Lol.... Well to tell you the truth I've always been of this particular mindset when it comes to public health and corporate food Giants.

I will admit it doesn't work well with the conservative lean towards capitalism and corporatism. But seriously if as some people say it's really our own fault for eating at McDonald's too much and not exercising enough I suppose it's fixable.

However over the past decade I've read hundreds of well-heeled scientific papers pointing fingers at food additives for doing everything from screwing up your metabolism to giving you an unnaturally large appetite.

Something's going on because the entire country is gaining weight every goddamn day.

Soon they will want legislation allowing them to form associations to combine their power against evil mega corps!

Proper food regulation used to be an old Republican standard, along with breaking up predatory companies.

The wife cannot eat breads here. In Europe its not an issue.

 

[rampart]

That doesn't help...
But it's far from the whole story...

Corn syrup, seed oils, meat growth hormones, GMO variants as of yet not fully understood...
This is no joke.

Jo

JoeB131 they blame the school teachers for turning boys into girls. look anywhere except the hormones in the food.

ah well, small price to pay for cheap food and massive profit.

The environment also used to be an old Republican standard.

It was Nixon who formed the EPA.

You know what the old Republican standard used to be to a statement like this?

"Go back to Yurp then!"

I did not know until recently that sex change operations were performed by school teachers.

Man, if it wasn't for MAGAs, I would never have learned this!

our greatest progressive president was a republican.

when teddy was shot he was actually hit by the bullet. and rather than pose, he continued the speech.
