How the FDA lets chemicals pour into America's food supply

Anti vax is just big pharma propaganda that rabid vaxers like to parrot.

:ROFLMAO: So now there are "rabid vaxers" but no anti-vaxers? Jesus, dude, too bad there's no vaccine against idiocy.

Anti vax was a term coined by big pharma to distract people. Calling the people who blindly support everything big pharma tells them or all of their products rabid vaxers is accurate and not an industry created term.

More excellent news, but the microplastics are everywhere. A recent study showed that 99% of the seafood sampled contained microplastics



The Trump administration will fix the incentives and stop this toxic cycle. We’ll reward companies that innovate with safe, sustainable packaging — and regulate the chemicals that don’t belong anywhere near our food.
 
This is a big one!

Anti vax is a reduction of the term anti-vaccination.

Generally associated with people who understand little about vaccines and tend to lack the ability to learn.
 
Kennedy’s Allies Against Pesticides: Environmentalists, Moms and Manly Men

An unlikely group is coalescing around the health secretary’s drive for restrictions on atrazine, which is linked to cancer, birth defects and low sperm counts.

In Europe, the weedkiller atrazine has been banned for nearly two decades because of its suspected links to reproductive problems like reduced sperm quality and birth defects.

In the United States, it remains one of the most widely used pesticides, sprayed on corn, sugar cane and other crops, the result of years of industry lobbying. It has been detected in the drinking water of some 40 million Americans.

Now, American environmental groups that have long sought a ban are finding some unexpected allies: the Trump administration and its MAGA supporter base.

This week, a “Make America Healthy Again” commission led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to issue a report on the causes of chronic illnesses in the United States. And Mr. Kennedy, who worked for years as an environmental lawyer fighting chemical companies, wants the report to highlight the harms of pesticides like atrazine, according to three people with knowledge of his efforts.

...“We’re calling for a ban of 85 pesticides that have already been banned in other countries,” said Zen Honeycutt, who leads a coalition of mothers opposed to pesticides and genetically modified organisms, at a national conference of Make America Healthy Again supporters ahead of the report’s publication.

“These pesticides cause reproductive damage, and we have a reproductive crisis in our country today,” she said at the meeting, attended by farmers, health influencers and conservative activists, as well as several administration officials. “Do we want the American population to be able to procreate or not?”

Joseph Shea, who sells athletic wear in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, wonders and worries about the food he eats.

The chemical ingredients with mystifying names. The references on product labels to unspecified natural or artificial flavors. The junk food that fits his budget but feels addictive and makes him feel unwell.

Shea, one of 1,310 people who responded to a poll the health policy research group KFF conducted on health care priorities, said he assumes the FDA is making sure the ingredients are safe.

In many cases, it is not.

The FDA's restraints on food ingredients are limited and relatively feeble, especially compared with those in Europe, a KFF Health News examination found. There are at least 950 substances in our food that are not permitted in Europe, according to one expert's estimate, and chemicals linked to health concerns show up in hundreds of products that line the shelves of American supermarkets.

How the FDA lets chemicals pour into America's food supply

The FDA has relied on food companies for decades to determine whether their ingredients are safe.

I must admit I am shocked that a corporate media outlet would publish an article like this especially with the details provided. Big props to CBS News.

It seems like times are a changing and even CBS News sees the momentum of the MAHA movement and they are jumping on board.

There are a lot of details in this article to go over.

A lot of what the FDA does is fix markets to allow monopolies and oligopolies.

Remember the baby formula shortage? That was created by the FDA. Baby formula is profoundly expensive. This is because like three to five companies produce it and they price fix. They get away with this cuz they can squeeze out any competitors by using the FDA to basically make it illegal to make it.

I remember during the shortage a lot of people that grew up and raised babies decades before baby is formula was widely commercially available had recipes on how to make it. The scumbags that cornered the market and fixed the price with help from the government issuing these statements that if you do that you're going to kill your baby.

They didn't want people to realize what ****ing liars they are.

I'll do a little farther and say this is this some total main purpose of all government regulatory agencies.

Good point and I agree. The FDA, like many other agencies, are captured by the industries they are supposed to be regulating.
 
This would be great especially with the microplastics everywhere



It’s made from food additives, releases nutrients like plant vitamins, and doesn’t leave behind any nasty microplastics.

It’s tough enough for tools, safe enough for your body, and clean enough for the planet.

Basically, it’s the opposite of everything plastic has been so far.
