86. Simple, don't feed your kids this poisonous garbage
Fri May 12, 2023, 09:37 PM
May 2023

or yourself for that matter. I know its a bit off the specific topic but it's shit it's not food. Parts is parts and all that. Fast "substitutes" for food are probably the main cause of type 2 diabetes, obesity and the increase of a cornucopia of autoimmune disease's in this country from the insane amounts of salt, sugar and god knows what chemicals are in the crap. We're barely into a 4th decade where consumption of this shit has gone from a few times a month to I would bet 4 or 5 times a week, especially the last 20 years and especially in kids. We're going to see a lot more health issues, including actual genetic and hormonal abnormalities as the generations of kids raised on this poison begin to mature into early adulthood and later in life.

Billionaires own this game 1000%. They're making billions. There's a jingle for makin' it, a jingle for shovelin' it and then a jingle to supposedly cure it.

Sorry for off topic, kinda
