Oh, it's definitely something that's getting more coverage because it's the narrative most of us expect from this administration, so memes and stories about it get more clicks and engagement. It sells.

As far as a source, I noticed the uptick in the number of memes about food recalls and was just curious if we actually were having more recalls than normal, so I did a search for the topic and read what I found. I would recommend doing the same for anyone else curious about the topic. We all would do well to remember that memes are not a valid source for news and information - not if you want the full picture.

Now, I wouldn't say that there's nothing to be worried about, but the number of recalls alone isn't the problem we should be focusing on. For starters, there's the issue I already mentioned that we aren't doing as much testing as we have in the past because RFK did indeed gut the FDA. The other issue I noticed in my reading is that while we may have less recalls than average at the moment, the stuff that is getting through seems to be more dangerous (e.g., the cyclospora outbreak), and the FDA is taking longer to respond to those outbreaks.

Synthetic psilocybin? They're not just... Treating patients with what we know works already?

Jesus you know what, I should know better. They're gonna fuck this up until they find something that's addictive that you have to take the rest of your life for it to work, or a treatment that forces you to take other drugs of theirs to treat its symptoms.

The one amazing thing about psychedelics is they can be a literal cure that you take once, and capitalism abhors a cure. They'll take a molecule out of it and fuck this whole thing up to make as big a profit as possible.

Real cinnamon sticks should have many fine layers and crumble easily, while cassia sticks are thick and hard.

You might be getting the real thing since that would likely come from Sri Lanka.
