Preach it, brother. Americans (and the collective west) got shafted hard with the raw end of the sick when it came to capitalism and its propensity to ignore health and safety, all in the name of profits for the Epstein class.

America has serious problems across the board, not just food.

By not containing meat but instead indigestible minerals, they’re actually closer in composition to what’s left of dinosaurs.

Lead can be used to cheaply increase the weight of.a product. It is also used for whitening surfaces that benefit from that. Chinese manufacturers have been caught doing both many times, I would start with tracing the origin of this chicken.

from the pipes, and metal manufacturing equipment.

lunchables recently were exposed to high lead levels, and many spices may contain lead.

Lead is in the soil, along with other heavy metals, pfas, and all sorts of shit, thousands of things. Including huge amounts of whatchacall it, flouride. I know you guys all trust that one, but it's an industrial byproduct of aluminum smelting and is in the soil in high levels in places like where california raisens are grown. Also it's a different molecule of flouride that the naturally occurring one. Sweet dreams.

They said they ate several bags of 'em, blame the lead poisoning.

You could just do what the rest of us did and nod your head and not defend walmart?

It's not like walmart is above it, and it certainly isn't like walmart needs you defending them.

Fortunate to have HEB in Texas. They treat their employees and their customers really well, also, and totally keep out all that Safeway nonsense. Aldi is rapidly expanding in the US, they have stores all over Texas, too

I did see and confirm, unfortunately, that Aldi is also using digital price displays, but I don't have any evidence to confirm if they're using variable pricing like Walmart.

Aldi bought Winn Dixie, and they are just rolling out the first conversions. Future Aldi's are going to resemble the classic supermarket.

We're not talking about "return to monke" type bullshit here. There are other ways.

From Permaculture Food Forests to aquaponic warehouse farms, we can do better than... Whatever this lead-riddled hell is.

Industrial food production is dependent on fossil fuel and is destroying the soil. It is also encouraging large scale production which is bad because

· it monopolizes food production which enables might and outcompete small scale farming.

· is homogenizing food, making it more vulnerable to mass crop failure, and decreasing the diversity of food.

· require massive infrastructures to distribute the food.

But we cant transition over night. We have to grow forth this reality by mindfully construct lettens that normalize this state of being.

We don't, and won't, have that though. Capitalism is fine with proper guidance and oversight too. But we don't have that.

So unless we do it ourselves. we are poisoned.

We dont need cars. Cars is actually part of the unwellness. Cars require overproduction and death regardless of whether we use fossil or electrical fuel. If we just look at the local cost of cars: · they are taking away space from our communities tyat could be used to gather, helping wildlife and grow food · they normalize long distance travelling, and therefore weakening local communities · they are making our societies unsafe in the sense that we cant let children play outside · they are at odds with samlife in the sense that they are endangering wildlife.

The great thing about humans is that we are very adaptable. We arent naturally dependent on cars. We dream, and we do. So if we dream of a carfree society, we can in fact do it.
