[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure what the definition is for MAHA but glyphosate (roundup) and similar chemicals should be completely banned. If Trump is the one saying that then I guess I’m for Trump.[/quote]

lol. He’s not trying to do any such thing. He and the GOP have been trying to block public warning labels about glyphosate, AT THE STATE LEVEL so the public won’t know about these toxic, cancerous chemicals. So much for states rights! So much for cancer! Three cheers for profits.

BAM! They got rid of glyphosate! Do you see "glyphosate" on any labels? Nope? well then, America is healthy again! /s[/quote]

I have been saying this repeatedly. The Trump EPA policies fly in direct opposition to MAHA goals. Furthermore, RFK Jr is not over the EPA so while he can talk about pesticides, he holds no power to do anything about them. It is a smoke and mirror show. Stop just believing what is said and look at the actions. Has RFK Jr said a thing about filtering PFAs in our drinking water? You would think he would be talking about them quite a lot. [/quote]

100% and not just the EPA, the pro-business arm of the party - which is pretty much a cornerstone of their platform. Republicans are the party of less regulation (unless you have a uterus) and pro-unrestrained capitalism. Our food is what it is because of these principles (not that the Democrats have tackled this since 2010 either - and that was more about the nutritional value of school lunches as opposed to targeting specific ingredients - but I do recall Michelle Obama's goals and how Glenn Beck/Fox News were very critical). I don't expect RFK to be successful and I can't imagine that he doesn't realize that. He might get 1 or 2 things removed from our food as a gimme, but those specifics are probably being negotiated behind the scenes with Big Food.
