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.

NET ZERO - Chevron to close in Scotland.
75% tax rate on North Sea oil and gas has made it impossible for companies to stay. Chevron’s exit ends 50+ years of investment, jobs, and energy security, all sacrificed on the altar of “net zero”.
All net zero really means is job losses, economic decline, and national self-sabotage đź’Ł

A11pl3Z
A mysterious visitor from another star is getting close
A giant interstellar object named #A11pl3Z is speeding toward our Sun from deep space.
It’s not from our solar system, its strange path proves that. Around 20 km wide, it's far bigger than the earlier visitors like #Oumuamua.
It's moving at nearly 68 km/s and will pass near Mars and the Sun later this year. Scientists still don’t know if it’s a comet or asteroid, but it could carry clues from another star system.

A new third interstellar visitor -probably an asteroid- A11pl3Z has been discovered on July 1.
It has a high eccentric hyperbolic orbit (65km/sec speed) & size 20km. Its perihelion will be on October 29, 2025.

🧵What if ʻOumuamua was just step one... and A11pl3Z is the follow-up?
Back in 2017, something strange flew through our solar system.
It didn’t stop or orbit, it just passed through.
Let's discuss 'the Mothership theory'👇
