    Well they did and pre-MAGA Republicans screamed bloody murder about it if I remember correctly, just like every other half decent idea that came out of the Obama White House....

    Now imagine her placed in charge of gutting the FDA. Tea partiers would be very even keeled.

    all kidding aside about his bat shit craziness, this is something I feel has been long overdue and something that's always puzzled me why the left didn't try to champion making food healthier i.e. removing unnecessary chemicals and shit from our food here. Lots of countries already ban dyes, HFCS, certain types of seed oils.ย ย Yes, there are products here that cater to this but they often come at a large markup whereas you go over to Europe and the cheap store brand stuff can conform to those standards. It's why I do a lot of my shopping at Aldi because they do a good job on a lot of there branded products with this.

    I do think it's funny that if you were to draw a Venn diagram of the maga folks now spouting Make America Healthly Again and the other circle being the right wingers losing their shit when Mayor Bloomberg wanted to limit the sale of large sodas in NY a decade ago as some huge affront to their freedom, it would be one giant circle.

    Cause if the left tried policing food, the right would scream about communism and taking away my freedom fries.

    I sincerely hope you enjoy more information of what youโ€™re putting in your bloodstream.

    Thatโ€™s fair. But I put a lot in there.

    I take 4 shots a day of two types of insulin. High blood pressure and high cholesterol pills. And thatโ€™s before the annual flu shot, a couple shingles shots, covid boosters.

    Iโ€™m a believer in modern medicine. Would be dead decades ago if I wasnโ€™t.

    I do eat pretty healthy. I cook quite a bit.

    It will be interesting to learn JFK Jrโ€™s take on things. I look forward to his roadkill recipes and insights on seafood skull autopsies.

    ย  How the election went at my house-

    My wife attacked her about voting for Trump(they live in Zona) and how now our Type 1 diabetic daughter's life may be in jeopardy.ย 

    Unfortunately, the populace, as a whole, doesnโ€™t give a shit about her healthcare. As a type 1, I can empathize with her.

    Kamala wanted to do something about it. But alasโ€ฆย

    Honest answer: your guess is as good as mine. Iโ€™m not a doctor but I believe the flu shot is dead flu strains that the CDC believes will be the predominant strains based on cases in Australia or southern hemisphere countries. These dead strains are added to the base vaccine and administered accordingly.

    Again, no idea exactly. But we will find out soon enough and thatโ€™s exciting.

    Exciting? I kinda prefer the predictability of the approach the medical community currently employs.

    But fuck it. Chaos gets clicks.

    Letโ€™s not read an article when you can hear what he has to say (donโ€™t know if posting links to X is allowed?, if not, sorry):

    ย 

    Honest question: how does the annual flu vaccine fit into this? I get it every year in Sept/oct timeframe.

    I assume that it wonโ€™t be an 8 year process to approve a yearly vaccine thatโ€™s designed to combat the handful of predominant strains in the given year.

    So far, every single indicator we hoped for, with the big caveat of no dem GA counties reporting, hasnโ€™t happened. Florida was a landslide with weed and abortion on the ballot, GA sill a big question mark at best. NC seems like the last promising real hope for early confidence.ย 

    NC is super tight right now. Like 1k separating Kamala and dotard with 14% reporting.
