I worry about the unintended consequences to eating hyper palatable , processed foods. Yes, it looks great & taste great but oof, now I gotta go take a 2-hour nap, and jeesh, now that I'm 70 I've got dementia, which is sometimes called 'type 3 diabetes ' in medical circles.

Absolutely agree on banning high fructose corn syrup. The stuff is awful. I recall a documentary from years back covering the discover and sale of HFCS , it was kind of a tongue in cheek, 60's , Wes Anderson-ish movie. Couldn't find that one but did find this article & have a slew of new Health movies to watch. https://www.vogue.in/content/10-health-documentaries-on-netflix-that-will-make-you-rethink-what-you-eat

Why even bother negotiating with the United States? We don't honor past negotiations & deals.

Shouldn't there be some sort of goal keeping, where if you help someone else out we will help you out? Oh wait, that's a democracy & FEMA was in charge of that. And you voted for this???

I barely agree with RFK Jr. on anything but this is a good move in my opinion. Unfortunately most of our food is so adultered and hyperpalatable and engineered for bulk consumption that we as a country cannot escape the chronic conditions that arise from its consumption. There is NO nutritional need for artificial food colorings, why is it there other than to convince you to eat the food.

Being active is so important to your health. Take where you're at and just build on it. One thing I always tell myself is that things won't get better if I don't act on it. Yeah, I want to loose 10 lbs so I'll start exercising and eating less. Tomorrow. Nope, it's got to start now. And give yourself some grace. Changing habits is hard and you will backslide. Don't beat yourself up, just awknowledge the slip and say you'll try to do better.

**Ishmael by Daniel Quinn ** Not exactly about religion but a turning point for me.

Ishmael is a half ton silverback gorilla. He is a student of ecology, life, freedom, and the human condition. He is also a teacher. He teaches that which all humans need to learn — must learn — if our species, and the rest of life on Earth as we know it, is to survive.

The book opens with a deceptively ordinary personals ad: “Teacher seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world.” Seeking a direction for his life, a young man answers the ad and is startled to find that the teacher is a lowland gorilla named Ishmael, a creature uniquely placed to vision anew the human story.

done this monthly since his innauguration. Its like its his menstrual cycle or something.

Female here - I thought this was hysterical & am going to offer it up to my girlfriends as a sign at the next protest.

He worked to build Home Depot and now Trump is using tariffs to pump & dump the stock market for his and his cronies gains. Business owners, who provide product, service or goods are not in on the pump & dump.

So now they are experiencing the leopard first hand.

lol, how long before the prison Nazis get tired of his shit.
