Please give @thefoodbabe a follow. This week she testified in the Senate about ingredients in U.S. foods that are considered to be toxic in Europe. When U.S. food manufacturers make the same foods for the European market, they omit those ingredients. 🤔

You’re on to something. Liability would fix this problem. As it is, the manufacturers can hide behind the FDA. If the FDA deems some food additives to be safe, the manufacturer can use that as a defense against lawsuits. That’s problematic since the FDA is influenced by business.
What I saw with GMOs is when individual states tried to add disclosure statements or warnings, Big-Food lobbyists showed up in DC, then Congress stepped in and banned the states from implementing their own labeling requirements. I was one of the few who voted for states rights.

I hate regulations too, but I feel strongly that consumers should be given access to information so they can make informed decisions. In that spirit, I support Country of Origin Labeling for food (at the federal level), and freedom for states to require disclosure labels on food.
If we are going to have federal institutions like FDA, USDA, CDC, EPA, then they should be working for Americans not corporations, the regulations should be written by elected officials not bureaucrats, and deference to states should be afforded.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...
