Even if RFK Jr forces Coca Cola and Pepsi to use cane sugar, I'm still going to support the little guys who have been doing it since the beginning.

@xianc78 i don't know anything about this but my new favorite conspiracy theory is the government is going to force you to eat real and healthy food

@icedquinn RFK Jr is right about almost everything related to food, but I feel like people are putting way too much faith in him. There are plenty of alternative food and drinks that don't use seed oils or beet sugars and they aren't that expensive. You don't even need to go to a farmer's market or health food store to buy them, just shop in the outer perimeter of your store. Meijer has a huge selection of cane sugar sodas.

@xianc78 i think the problem here is that line go uppers are obligated to absolute minmaxing society against the bottom line. so it doesn't matter if beet juice causes less diabetes, because beet juice costs more than grinding baby skulls.

There's been a lot of propaganda too that supports waste products being dumped into our food supply. People really believe putting Fluoride salts (industrial waste products) somehow strengthens teeth. I knew one guy who even said it was the cheapest thing we could do for poor kids dental health.

But the trouble is, those people who have been taught to believe the religion of fluoride will not be willing to even entertain the idea they could be wrong, and Orange Fascists + Scratchy Voice Anti-Vaxer supporting the idea that maybe we shouldn't be putting medication directly in the water supply just re-enforces that religious belief that they are the ones who are trying to kill us all ...

@djsumdog @xianc78 they hired a master spin doctor to sell flouride. forgot his name, but he was involved with some other stuff too.

its because flouride does have demonstrated positive effects on dentin. topically, temporarily. every dental product says DO NOT INGEST CALL POISON CONTROL.

@icedquinn @djsumdog @xianc78 Iv'e seen ppl claim they can tell where someone is from based off their teeth bc of how much flouride is in the water in CA

@teratology @djsumdog @xianc78 there are CA cities where they poisoned people yeah. the ordinance said the furthest point has to reach some amount, so the inner city is overflouridated to compensate.

excess flouride *causes* tooth rot, but the dentists make bank so who cares.
