[exahusted, under-resourced parent] I just want what’s best for my kids

[info environment] here’s a ton of bullshit

[public health guy] I empathize, trying to find what’s good and what’s not is really hard with all the bullshit

[bluesky] you, personally, have murdered these kids. I must post.

I'm worried when Kristi Noem finds out she's been fired she's going to become America's first obedience school shooter.

Adding It to Pizza as a Topping
If you're talking about properly cooked bear meat (e.g., the one associated with RFK Jr.'s story, though that specific bear was a roadkill cub dumped in Central Park and not eaten), using it as a pizza topping could incorporate those nutrients into a meal. Pizza itself isn't inherently "healthy" (due to refined carbs, cheese, and potential high sodium/calories), but swapping in lean bear meat instead of processed pepperoni or sausage could make it a bit more nutrient-dense—higher protein, more iron, less processed additives.
However, "healthy" depends on the overall diet, portion size, and preparation. It's not a superfood, but it can be a solid, lean protein source.

According to realfood.gov / Grok, RFK Jr could have eaten that bear. It's a healthier pizza topping than pepperoni or sausage

I asked if properly cooking Elon's flesh and using it as a pizza topping would be healthy. Grok said even cooking to 165 degrees wouldn't eliminate prions, viruses, etc.
