AGRA is essentially a Gates Foundation subsidiary, and while some of its projects appear to be beneficial, most of its goals are centered on promoting biotechnology and chemical fertilizers. AGRA was launched in 2006 with funding from Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Cue the scary music. Dr. Mercola is against Gates because Gates promotes the green revolution. Dr. Mercola needs to think about why agriculture is so productive. It's not because we use "organic" methods, it's from modern GMO crops and modern fertilizers. Yes, those aren't perfect but they are a whole lot better than what Mercola is proposing.

When animals are raised according to regenerative agriculture, a complete ecosystem is created, one that is both healing for the land and productive for the farmers who keep it. Eating meat is not synonymous with harming the environment; it’s industrial farming practices that inflict the damage. Some also believe eating meat means ripping out more forests so animals can graze, but often it’s grasslands and prairies that have been plowed up to plant a surplus of corn for ethanol.

Schizophrenic is the only way to describe the entire article. Mercola hates factory farm meat and proposes regenerative farmed meat. That's great but needs to prove its merits. Not contrasted in a false dichotomy against a red herring (ethanol production). By extension Mercola hates synthetic meat. Synthetic meat may be good bad or neutral I don't know and don't care.

Testing by Moms Across America also revealed the Impossible Burger contains glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide, which has been shown to alter the gene function of over 4,000 genes in the livers, kidneys and cause severe organ damage in rats at levels of just 0.1 part per billion.12 The Impossible Burger contained 11.3 ppb (glyphosate and its break down AMPA).

Who the F cares? Did they test for the amount of roundup in cow meat from a factory farm or from Mercola's saintly regenerative meat farm? No. There's no copmparison, no context, no nothing. Just "Moms across America", a far-left astroturf loonie organization. From their website:

In San Francisco and across the country...4/5G "Small" Cell Wireless Telecommunications Facilities (sWTFS) are being constructed and poles are being placed 12 - 30 feet outside of people's bedrooms. In some cases, the sWTFs are put on every street light post, so as close as 200 feet apart as well. We face thousands of these facilities in every city across the country.

Anyone who falls for any of this letist twaddle is a chump.

Mercola is right.

Glycophosphate is a poison that kills the microbiome.
