Not to distract from chemicals in our food discussion, but Monsanto made Roundup and company was purchased by Bayer in 2018.
Roundup, the branded herbicide containing glyphosate, was first released and sold commercially by Monsanto in 1974. Initially developed in the early 1970s, it was marketed for both residential and agricultural use as a non-selective, systemic weed killer. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Discovery and Development: Although glyphosate was first synthesized in 1950 by a Swiss chemist as a potential pharmaceutical, its herbicidal properties were identified by Monsanto in 1970.
They also made roundup ready corn! It’s probably in that delicious Texas BBQ.
You’re welcome!

You countered your own argument. We all know these soda drinks produce future diabetics and obese individuals. Why not start with these? This is common sense. It makes absolutely no sense that individuals on food stamps can buy these.
Are there other things that they’re trying to ban like Jell-O or Ensure?
"Kennedy’s team is threatening to cut off federal funding for hospitals that serve items with too much added sugar, including Jell-O, fruit juice, Cheerios, and even Ensure protein shakes, the board wrote. "

All the while approving flavored vape nicotine products.
I can claim to have been near greatness one morning at the Ponderosa Restaurant in Alpine, Texas. Harry Dean Stanton was having breakfast at the table next to us. Not sure who was more hungover, him or us.
Looking at his filmography, it must have been 1995. He was in the cast of Dead Man’s Walk, which was filmed all over the Big Bend region. I’ve never seen it (just finally saw Lonesome Dove in the past year).
Anyhow, I’m pretty sure I’m correct about his diet that morning. We were all drinking black coffee and smoking cigarettes and trying to sweat out the whiskey. (I don’t think the Ponderosa had a non-smoking section.)

There’s a blues bar in Santa Monica that he is a frequent guest performer. We were there for a UH game and. after being kicked out of a Hooters, we went there. Good music, no HDS.
I did get my hair cut by Dabney Coleman’s barber the next day.
