None of us have any control over what gets sprayed on our foods.
If you want to eat GMO, glyphosate resistant and treated foods, have at it.
But many people don’t have any problem with not having out food treated with pesticides, herbicides, and antibiotics that leave residue on the food.
Inflicting it on people without their knowledge is NOT OK.
Why do i find myself in agreement with you on so very many things? ((Hug))

At least Biden will leave cosmetics and facial metal alone!

I think it’s the other way around.
Why not?
Aren’t they ORGANICALLY based?
Fat?
Heck there are not so many 90 YOs to begin with!
Can't PARENTS do this on their own - like you've just illustrated?
RFK also wants to legalize LSD and pot, so, you get both in his world.
In my work I with medicine I encounter old people. I meet many 90+ Mo one who is obese gets to 90 in my experience. Thats my point
Thanks.
Sure they could.

Does he still hold to that view?
Yes, he does. Recently published on 25 October 2024, his #1 priority was the legalizing of psychedelics (LSD, Mushrooms, etc.). He thinks they open the human mind to wonders we cannot conceive without them.
