    im okay with ending the war on psychedelics though.

    not for everyone but also not worth hunting and jailing people for.

    Speaking of raw milk, bird flu has just been disovered in it. Buckle up, the next pandemic is coming. Maybe it will go down in history as the MAGA flu. Or Trumps.

        In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don’t have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu

          There’s also the fact that they take steps to hinder bad bacteria. While nurturing the good bacteria that makes their cheese. It’s not like they just throw raw milk into a vat and pull out cheese.

        Raw milk for cheese isn’t quite as big of deal as enthusiasts make it out to be. It’s more the homogenization process that destroys milk for cheese than pasteurization. I’ve had alot of success mixing pasteurized skim milk and pasteurized heavy Cream to the ratio I want to make various cheeses. Using Homogenized milk though nearly always failed or gave extremely low yields for me though.

    Apparently now conservatism is just constantly relitigating every minor perceived slight.

    For the most part, liberals have moved past the fact that these assholes held the country hostage and killed a million people throwing their tantrum.

      Disinformation coming out of the FDA is a real issue though, it’s just that RFK isn’t exactly the person we should want trying to fix it. His list covers the entire spread from significant real issues to batshit crazy conspiracy theory, leaning heavily towards the latter.

      It’s notable that the areas in most need of reform were all broken by conservative politicians.

      If they break that infrastructure the long term impact won’t be immediately evident, which means the impetus to fix it will match that of climate change.

      I think it’s like the FDA having just reasonable guidelines on how much UV you can safely be exposed to. RFKJR prolly thinks sun lotion prevents all the healthiness from the sun and crystallises your amygdala or something along those lines.

        It’s Vitamin D. There was this whole thing during the COVID pandemic about how the FDA/CDC were SUSPICIOUSLY QUIET about how impactful Vitamin D levels were on COVID outcomes or something and how that’s how you know that… something something sinister ulterior motives.

        So like the idea was that everybody going outside and getting some sun was actually the best thing for public health, but THEY were telling you to languish inside under lockdowns, because clearly they didn’t want you to be healthy.

          Yeah, I know it’s Vitamin D you get from the sun, but for instance exposing yourself to sun that requires sun lotion, you’re still getting all the vitamin D you can use.

          Idk this might be a bullshit stat, but here in Finland you here all sorts of things about vitamin D and sunshine, so iirc, I think like 15 minutes in the sun already gives you your daily dose of vitamin D.

          So it’s not exactly a good reason to lift the lockdown when people can just go out to walk their dog and have all the benefits that one can get from the sun. It’s not like sun worshipping yourself until you look like a two-day old hotdog is anything healthy. The sort of tanning RFK JR seems to have practiced. I had a friend (woman) who just loved suntanning. Like crazy much. And smokes. She wasn’t too bad looking when I worked with her, but god she’s gonna look like wrinkled leather in 10 years.

            Just to chime in, vitamin D deficiency is extremely common:

            Recent large observational data have suggested that ~40% of Europeans are vitamin D deficient, and 13% are severely deficient [2]

            Study with source

            Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to dementia and other bice diseases. I bet 15 minutes sunlight won’t cut it and sunbathing gives you skin cancer in the long run, so get some supplements people!

              Yeah, it is. And even moreso here in the Nordics.

              I take a vitamin D supplement every day. Especially in the winter.

              I quickly googled and a Finnish article says that during summertime, wearing just shorts, you can get your daily amount half an hour. But that’s midsummer sun and midday.

              But in countries where it’s more intense…

              Anyway, supplementation is definitely necessary for most people, especially during winter.

                Modern day people are often stuck inside (of the car, house, office) during daylight times.

                Also, when you get a sunburn in 20 minutes you avoid the sun when you are outside…

                So yeah, supplements FTW!

        There was a finding a few years ago that while preventing skin cancer, sunscreen was also causing people in some places to get less vitamin d which was increasing instances of colon cancer. The solution isn’t banning sunscreen, it’s making sure people get some small amount of sun or supplements vitamin d.

        Being from Oz I never really considered issues with vitamin d until I moved to the UK for a few years and discovered that limited vitamin d is a real problem in winter. Im not sure on the deficiency you need for colon cancer but a few weeks of little to no Sun really messes with your head and body.

          “There are a lot of ingredients in cosmetics, hair care and sunscreen that can act as endocrine mimickers in a lab, meaning they kind of act like a hormone,” Waldman explains.
          But He stresses that, when it comes to chemical sunscreen ingredients, the potential link largely comes from animal studies that likely don’t translate to humans. For instance, in many studies, researchers are feeding large amounts of these ingredients to mice, He explains, which is “not really comparable to a human situation.”

          EDIT: So no, no they don’t in humans.

        It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people.

        I mean, it halfway is:

        • “Sunscreen” – stuff with a decently high SPF rating – is a good thing that prevents cancer.

        • “Suntan lotion” – usually glorified coconut oil with fuck-all SPF rating – is a bad thing that harms people.

        • “Sunscreen lotion” – a confused amalgamation of the previous terms – is not a thing and only misleads people by conflating good things with harmful ones.
