Why the MAHA obsession with chemicals in food, but not the environment?

I think we found the low IQ participant. Read the thread. Read the science. The real science, not the Instagram crap.

And if you’re still not convinced, you can drink all the plastic bottled water you want. You can install a filter in your house. You can shovel out tens of thousands of dollars on your kids’ teeth. No one is stopping you.

Fluoride lowers IQs. Read the studies.

In high doses. The list of things that are toxic in the wrong dose and helpful in the correct dose is long. I think you only play a PhD on the internet.

Neurotoxins are not “helpful in the correct dose”. Let me guess, you love homeopathy too.

Cavities are not a fluoride deficiency.

We’ve got an RFK fan! Let me guess—you work in the private sector, nit government.

We should ban Vitamin B6 with their logic.

PFAs are more of a concern that fluoride, frankly, but I know MAGA doesn't care unless their preferred instagram influencers talk about it.

A couple essential vitamins are also neurotoxins. Yes, dose matters.

I think because it’s an easy way to appeal to rich republican women. They are staying home to look after their family, grow some veggies in the backyard, cook everything from scratch and clean with vinegar. They have to truly believe that there is great importance and value in this. They see the republicans “care” about this. Their husbands prob don’t really care- it gives their wife something to be passionate about.

The environment isn’t as immediately rewarding to care about. You can’t see the changes in your day to day life and it doesn’t have an immediately tangible result. But that dinner you made tastes delicious, the organic food you bought looks beautiful, your husband is happy and kids are happy and your head is in the sand.

Monsanto is quite powerful too.

Exactly. Our government agencies have been SO corrupted.

Coincidentally the same time period "environmentalists" only talked about global warming.

Yeah, it's truly bizarre.

PFAS is the modern day lead in gasoline crisis. All of the microplastic too.

Ughhh it is very disturbing how much PFAS and micro plastics they're finding in all of our food and in human bodies. How can you make MAHA when our environment is contaminated with these horrific forever chemicals and micro plastics?

You can blame and fatshame individuals for eating the wrong foods, but you have to hold corporations responsible for the overwhelming majority of environmental damage/pollution.

That's why.

….And the corrupted basta*d politicians who have allowed corporations to do whatever they want.

Check out the owners of that mega “Wellness” corporation in California. They’ve ruined CA more than any other corporation. They own Fiji Water. Avoid buying that brand of bottled water.

….while INFERTILITY treatments reep HUGE PROFITS. How convenient for the medical industry and big pharma.

Most of these infertility treatments are due to women waiting until they are older to have children. It has very little to do with microplastics or endocrine disruptors.

OP- that’s way too much logic you’re trying to inject in MAHA’s thinking

Or just don't buy bottled water at all. That's the problem. I grew up in a world without bottled water and it was better.

And therein lies the problem.
We know GOP won’t do anything.
But why don’t our Dem admins?

Because the fake "MAHA" party repeatedly votes against doing anything about PFAs over and over. They tout getting red dye banned while they do nothing about the chemicals that are impacting us all, our children, babies, grandchildren.

I know there are MAGAs here reading this and I hope you call out your leaders' hypocrisy on saying they will Make America Healthy while doing jack about dangerous PFAs impacting our health.

Of course many cancers, birth defects, and health issues are caused by environmental causes. But if you choose next to live next to a toxic waste dump or in a food desert, well, that’s your fault, too.

It’s all lining up to make public health a thing of the past.

^ all of this. They're trying to make everything "personal responsibility" so that the government is responsible for nothing-- no enforcement, no prevention, no remedy. You want something? You pay for it (at highly inflated prices, from their friends). The government will no longer provide it. In like manner, they're also trying to cut and reframe many agencies to center on "education" or "awareness" instead of prevention/enforcement/rules. So then it's your problem if you are harmed in some way.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out the benefits for them. It all makes perfect sense now. FMs!
