The coalition focused on making Americans healthier is frustrated with the Trump administration's stance on environmental toxins and most recently, its support of the company that makes the pesticide.

The case in front of the [US Supreme] court centers on whether Bayer, the German company that now owns Monsanto, can be shielded from lawsuits that have been filed in state courts over claims that the company failed to warn consumers about the cancer-causing effects of glyphosate.

The Trump administration’s decision to back the pesticide maker in the case, coming on the heels of an executive order supporting the expansion of domestic production of glyphosate, has angered the MAHA movement…

Just last month, leading scientists in the field of environmental health issued a consensus statement, saying that glyphosate can cause cancer and called for urgent action. Bayer disputes this.

    What the fuck is MAHA?

    Make America Healthy Again

    Okay, but is this the fucking RFK weirdos antivaxxers and crystal shills or actual doctors and dieticians?

    The reasons America is unhealthy:

    • the average person can’t afford to go to the doctor or dentist unless it’s an emergency
    • car culture and sedimentary lifestyle
    • the enshittification of the food supply. Everything is ultra processed, stuffed with addictive sugar, and filled with chemicals like titanium to make food appear whiter and better looking.
    • pandering food subsidies like the corn subsidy massively overproducing high fructose sugars
    • dual worker families who are so time starved they both don’t have time to cook healthily and have forgotten how
    • food lobbies that for 50+ years have pushed unhealthy but profitable to them diets
    • a severe lack of fibre which keeps you shitting more and eating more.

      Another word that sounds like dumbed-down baby-talk, just like “maga”. Only very special idiots think that following someone that denies vaccines and pitches eating beef tallow is going to make them healthy. Reminds me of all the maroons that were touting eating bacon as a “health food” under the banner of “paleo”, LOL.

      No real meaning other than follow the likes of idiot influencers like RFK jr, just like “maga” has no real principles; it’s just follow the loudest moron in the room that blurts out the same shit they hear on the likes of Faux “News” and hate radio, so for now, that means, follow the conman idiot that had a game show about 20 years ago.
