Organic Food Promoters Are Wrong on the Science

Organic Food Promoters Are Wrong on the Science: 

Activists have convinced Americans that “organic” food is better—healthier, better-tasting, life-extending.

As a result, poor parents feel guilty if they can’t afford to pay $7 for organic eggs.

This misinformation is spread by people like Alexis Baden-Mayer, political director of the Organic Consumers Association. She says organic food is clearly better: “The nutrition is a huge difference.”

But it isn’t. Studies find little difference.

Biden's goons at war with The People!-----Garland vs. Parents - WSJ

Garland vs. Parents - WSJ link

• How far has the U.S. Department of Justice gone to investigate parents who were angry with local school boards and administrators?

"A new report from two Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee suggests that federal powers are being misused just as First Amendment defenders feared.
Readers may recall the revelations that came to light last fall. 

A Journal editorial noted in October:

"It took a few weeks, but the National School Boards Association has apologized for sending a letter to President Biden suggesting that “threats and acts of violence” at school board meetings might be “domestic terrorism.”
...Days after the NSBA letter was sent, Attorney General Merrick Garland directed the FBI and U.S. Attorneys to intervene—without spelling out the federal authority or hard evidence for what the AG called a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence.”

Mr. Garland’s infamous memo made clear that senior officials at the department should prioritize such investigations:

I am directing the Federal Bureau of Investigation...facilitate the discussion of strategies for addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff, and will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response..."

Will Facebook Reinstate Trump Too? | Newsmax.com: 

Elon Musk's comment that he would reverse former President Donald Trump's permanent ban on Twitter could result in Facebook and YouTube doing the same, a Washington Post reporter suggested Wednesday.

Musk, who's buying Twitter for $44 billion, said Tuesday that Trump’s Twitter ban was a "morally bad decision," "foolish in the extreme," and that he would allow Trump to return to the social media platform.

Sadly true.

"New York (CNN Business)James Cromwell, one of the stars in "Succession," superglued himself to a counter of a Starbucks in New York protesting the chain's surcharge on vegan milks.

...He's seen on video posted by the organization asking Starbucks to "stop charging more" for vegan milk.
Starbucks charges roughly 70 cents extra for a dairy alternative, which includes soy, coconut, almond and oat milks, depending on the US city...
"My friends at PETA and I are calling on Starbucks to stop punishing kind and environmentally conscious customers for choosing plant milks," Cromwell said in a press release from PETA. 

"We all have a stake in the life-and-death matter of the climate catastrophe, and Starbucks should do its part by ending its vegan upcharge."..."

Ministry of DISINFORMATION!

"Denver's 'instant rebate' e-bike incentive program that promised some residents up to $1,700 in value has been put on pause upon being met with overwhelming popularity. 

After launching on April 22, 3,250 applications for rebates have been received, pushing the program to capacity and forcing a shift to a "limited-release" model that will reopen as funding becomes available throughout the year.
"Denver, we are amazed," said city chief climate officer Grace Pink. 

According to Pink, the success of the program indicated that there was a clear demand for electronically-powered bicycles, which have been praised as a cleaner means of transportation..."
