You hear someone say...

'That _____(food item)was SO good...I couldn't stop eating it!'

Are they talking about:
-๐Ÿช cookies made by a friend
-a bag of grocery store potato chips
restaurant appetizer
-food they made for dinner
โ“๏ธโ“๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘€Point: food that's irresistible is not necessarily "bad" or a UPF

The last two weeks I've posted strong podcast episodes about #glyphosate. I would love to interview one of the many onlnie "doctors" and influencers that claim it is so dangerous and carcinogenic. But nobody will take me up on the offer? It's more comfortable in the silo.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

โ€œKratom sold hereโ€ sign

โ€œKratom sold hereโ€ sign

Kratom is not technically a dietary supplement but itโ€™s also not an FDA approved medication but itโ€™s also not illegal everywhere

This is why you see Kratom being sold at seemingly random places

kratom = comes from the tree Mitragyna speciosa and contains alkaloids that stimulate opioid receptors and can interfere with potassium currents in the heart and cause sudden death

addiction is possible and people may need help to to get off it

It is illegal in some US states

in the United States kava is a โ€œdietary supplementโ€ which means the FDA doesnโ€™t regulate it, itโ€™s up to the manufacturer to ensure quality control (lol ok)
