MAHA’s fixation on seed oils and food processing is a distraction from the real culprits—added sugar, sodium, and ultra-cheap calories. The risk isn’t seed oil; it’s letting RFK dictate the science.

Activist groups like @EWG, @USRTK, @NRDC, and pseudo-journalist/fired from @Reuters @CareyGilliam —they fan chemical hysteria and rake in billions of dollars of year in donations, and the cycle repeats. This is the business of fear, and it harms all of us.

@HHSGov’s MAHA agenda sells a fantasy—swapping precision ag and evidence-based tools for higher costs and lower yields. Science says pesticides, especially the demonized glyphosate, determined safe by every risk agency in the world, more than 15--reduce toxicity and emissions.

He also ignores this truth: removing modern chemical inputs won’t make food healthier, just more expensive, and the environmental benefits are negligible at best. Plus, 'Organic foods cost at least 20% more' and aren’t safer or more nutritious. He’s drinking the Kool-Aid.

So why are U.S. environmental groups pushing bans that ignore the science? Follow the funding—many are backed by tort law firms targeting PFAS for mass litigation. @MollyTaft | @Wired

They account for just 1–2% of total PFAS use, yet are essential to clean energy, medical devices, semiconductors, and EV technology. No global regulator—including the EU’s @EU_ECHA, @bfren, @GovCanHealth, or the @OECD — classifies fluoropolymers as unsafe.

Environmentalists targeting glyphosate ignore the irony: it’s a tool that helps protect aquatic ecosystems. Precision herbicide use supports sustainable land use. Reckless bans ignore the bigger picture—and the real ecological consequences. @Dirt_To_Dinner

Viewpoint: Every independent risk agency in the world has concluded that the herbicide glyphosate is safe as used. What about its impact on wildlife, soil and watersheds?
Glyphosate is the most controversial pesticide in the world, even though it is the most studied and generally deemed as safe by many governmental bodies across the globe. Once again, it is currently i...
