Due to regulatory capture and/or incompetence, why even have an FDA?

I'm glad to see the data you have collected, this is not new news by any stretch. As I' mentioned before, Dr. Zach Bush M.D. is traveling the world educating farmers about this very real and devastating problem. That is why I promote his very small line of products that have been tested and found to be effective for a healthy gut as well as skin and sinus. He is no grifter because he sells a product that has been found to significantly assist the microbiome. Glyphosate is in the water, air and soil, especially where the farms are most prevalent. For a non-pharmaceutical assist, check out ION (intelligence of nature). My husband and I have taken it for over four years, as well as our cats, even tho we eat organic and the cats eat raw with organic supplementation included. The cost is nothing compared to doctor and prescription costs, of which we have none.

50% of Americans live in suburbs, 80-90% live in urban areas (I’m assuming overlapping definitions), 10-20% are rural — the point being that most of America cannot grow own food or even a significant portion. Those who can and know how (sorry, laughed a bit as I wrote that) don’t/won’t cause that time is better spent watching MarchMadness, etc.

Commercially grown food is a necessity. Use of chemicals is a necessity as we are in a constant battle with the true rulers of this planet - insects. Could we do better? Sure; but until the consumer is willing to eat what I eat out of the garden, with all the blemishes, etc…

Two other significant (and related) sources of air, water, soil, animal, and plant contamination are the chemtrails/contrails from jet fuel and (whatever), plus cloud seeding and other geo-engineering -- aka weather control.

Just two examples:

* Cloud Seeding Experiment in Idaho: https://eolson47.substack.com/p/cloud-seeding-experiment-in-idaho

* The Highwire Episode 363 Eye in the Sky: https://thehighwire.com/ark-videos/eye-on-the-sky/

Our legislators are either doing nothing or openly resisting a fix for any of this. Joe Biden and Bill Gates want to block out the life-giving sun, no doubt with very toxic chemicals. A couple of states are fighting back but we're a long way from success. See NH (https://legiscan.com/NH/text/HB1700/id/2865234) and TN (https://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/113/Amend/SA0653.pdf). Also, Harvard (of all places) appears to be abandoning its foolhardy geoengineering experiments (https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/03/18/1089879/harvard-halts-its-long-planned-atmospheric-geoengineering-experiment/)..

It is hard to know where our food comes from and what is in it even if we are buying "organic" labeled products. Even growing our own vegetables in a raised bed summer kitchen garden, the organic soil inputs may be suspect. Where I live, the soil seems to be held together by poison ivy. Glyphosate (Round Up) appears to be the main herbicide used to suppress the Ivy. I don't think the alternatives are much safer. (The last county I lived in was held together with quack grass). Frankly, I would move back if the economy wasn't so FUBAR. So we are all in a conundrum since most of us need to buy groceries in stores. Even using cow manure on fields may be a problem if you don't know what the cows fed on (organic herbicide free grasses?) and what medicines they were given. Better living through chemistry - NOT!

But, wait there's more. I actually kept a head of broccoli in my fridge from just before Christmas until I threw it away in mid-February, looking as fresh as the day I bought it. It was on a black Styrofoam tray with clear plastic wrap over it. How can this be?

Apeel is a sprayable coating from plant-derived materials that has been approved for fresh fruits and vegetables in the United States, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa without any restrictions. Apeel Sciences is the parent company name but has multiple product names registered for edible food coatings. The Apeel product line currently offers two product types. The first is called Invisipeel which can be applied directly to crops in a field by farmers. The second product type requires farmers to wait until the crops are ready before harvesting and applying. This second category has two approved products: Edipeel for non-organic produce and Organipeel for organic produce.

Apeel has received a total of $719.1 million in funding from 33 investors. Some of the most notable investors in Apeel’s Edipeel technology include:

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

The World Economic Forum

The Rockefeller Foundation

Infectious Disease Startups

The government of Singapore

So, why are some of the world’s arguably notoriously corrupt organizations funding this? What do they have to gain with the unrestricted use of adding Apeel to all fresh vegetables and fruits in several countries? Before we put our conspiracy hats on, let’s discuss what this plant-derived food additive really is.

I've remember reading a few research studies in the past which discussed how glyphosate mimicks glycine in the body. Glycine is the animo acid which constitutes up to 42% of animal tendon, cartilage, and bone tissues. The body puts glyphosate in these tissues instead of glycine resulting in multiple problems. Many believe the 30+ horses which had to be euthanized at the Santa Anita racetrack in 2019 was most likely due to the high amount of glyphosate in their alfalfa/hay.

In the words of Dane Wigington,

Can anything grown in the world be considered "organic" anymore ?

You be the judge.

Thanks so much for this 'Good to know.' Immediately forwarded to my boss lady with kids and family aged friends. Worthy share for Fallout. I have a fairly organic property. No pesticides and natural BY of pine trees. Talking to a neighbor was surprised at the variety of creatures that frequent us. Am contemplating what to try and grow and how. Your heads up helps. All our creatures will love it. Thank heavens I'm an antique. Will try washing fresh stuff more faithfully and vigorously.

Have another fun in the sun with good friends and beloved creatures. Pass along my sympathies on the Roman - New York Times dustup. Roman and ETv clear winners in my book.Per Federalist, happy to learn of your progress made!

Bestest all ♡♡♡ ♡

When it comes to food, quantity has a quality all its own.

Several anecdotal experiments have been done with Mcdonalds.

Supersize Me was the example of excess killing you.

Several other examples., are people that ate only from the Micky Ds menu, but at 1500 to 1600 calories per day. Everyone in this group, lost weight, and cholesterol markers improved.

About 20 years ago, a nutrition professor went on a twinkly diet. Nothing but twinkies, with a protein shake, and vitamins, at 1600 calories per day, and some Doritos for a little change from the processed sugar pulp.

He lost lots of weight, and all his cholesterol markers went down.

No word on how this may have effected anyone with Diabetes.

For short term, and middle term, quantity is way more important that quality.

Long term, I will let you know if I get there.

I suspect a few folks have sub acute allergies to a lot of processed carbs.

I suspect a lot of folks (myself included) have a bigger problem with how much we eat.

Currently, I am using Ozempic (got it ordered due to pre DB symptoms) and I am only using it as weight loss.

Never did increase to full dose, after a few months, I backed off to every ten days (usually Q weekly) am now at every 2 weeks, and next month, I bump it up to every 3 weeks.

I am slowly changing my habits. I now do a normal breakfast, consistently. Most of the time, also a normal lunch and dinner.

More walking, less portions, rare piggy nights.

In past 2 years, lost about 50 lbs, I still get plateaus, but still slowly losing the weight,

Cutting carbs also allowed me to decrease stool softeners to almost non use. I have cut one bp med in half. Of course, always include your doctor when you muck around with your health.

I have a “gluten intolerant” family member, who has discovered by accident that Indian flour, at least the flour used in nan, doesn’t cause any of the gastric problems associated with North American bread and wheat. Could it be an intolerance to glyphosate used to finish the wheat instead? We certainly suspect so! Shades of an industry that at one point in the 1990s suggested putting statins in drinking water and has exposed us to way too much fluoride for decades.

Snark observation: if only there were some way that we could alter our DNA to tolerate toxins like glyphosate, then humans could become "Roundup Ready."

Oh me. What a depressing essay. I have a long history of attempting to address issues related to those discussed. Most of you can’t begin to know how hard it is for an established farmer or rancher to deal with all of the problems raised here. Round-up, weed killers and pesticides are critically important to modern agriculture. In my personal journey we have been able to eliminate round-up. We attempted to eliminate weed killer, that lasted two years. On the third year we were forced to spray because cattle must have something to eat besides weeds. Four years ago we rented a 1000 acres of grass. The place was run down so we put cross fences so we could rotate the cattle. Then we began a weed control program. This year we rented the 1000 acres directly to the east of our current location. No cross fences, no weed control program. The 1000 acres we have had for only four years will graze two times as many cattle. I wish I could put pictures on here. You would not believe the difference. We stoped mass treating our cattle for worms because we were killing all of the dung beetles. Pharo Cattle Co. Bulls are rated for fly resistance, a heritable trait according to knit Pharo. One of the reasons we buy his outrageously priced bulls. So a win there. In our butcher program we do not use antibiotics or hormones, we do feed cracked corn, which almost certainly was sprayed with round-up at some point. Trying to fatten cattle in west central Oklahoma on forage without irrigation is near impossible. My family has put a lot of effort into this over the last 15 years. I have no other neighbors who are working on this like we are and we are not close to what you are asking for Dr. Malone. There is a reason only 6 percent of our food is grown organically. It is a very difficult bar to reach, especially on the scale we have to operate. Farmers and ranchers, like all other business people respond to the market signals. They must to survive. The market pays for pounds of beef and bushels of grain. Our butchered beef, for instance, is outstanding. Even with the cracked corn as a down side for some, no hormones, no antibiotics and you know where it comes from and how the cattle are treated. It is a hard sell. Walmart is to convenient and cheap. My banker tells me the farm butchered beef marked is saturated. Not enough consumer interest! We have a long way to go and somebody will have to help pay the cost of making the change. That burden cannot be born by farmers and ranchers alone. And I still question if sufficient amounts of food can be grown and afforded even if everyone wanted to make the change. If it only works for the well healed that is not a plan.

I have often wondered about such the "Accumulative" levels of GLy GBH when showering with city water know to have this as well as fluorides. Can the dermis absorb an amount that will find a way into and then join vascular flow networks over time. A hot shower can open up the pores pretty well in a sustained lengthy shower. Something I do not partake in. Long...Hot...Showers!! I'm in and out.
