12. How about all the reproductive problems of those who were pregnant
Fri Feb 16, 2024, 07:49 PM
Feb 2024

and eating this stuff?! Both me and my daughter spent most of our pregnancies in problem-ob throughout our terms. Both of us had kids with problems. Both of us were told not to have any more children. How much of this can we lay at their feet? It's damned scary when the very food you pay dearly for you don't know whether or not its safe to eat!
