Do you have any references for that?

Remember driving through the Arkansas Ozark boondocks and got an opportunity to say good morning to Mennonites driving horse and buggy

there is a problem and it is covered up by things like this

a law to require living wages be paid by employers and a fair tax law for all is needed

But moved on to a more cashless society where cash is mostly used for nontraditional stores but even those take cash app or card now so this legislation is mostly just vote grabbing because will not fully address the problem but guess that is the point

don’t have the exact numbers but in the United States we have lowered by a percent or so or more the allowable heavy metals and such because of polluted soil not naturally occurring ones and how it is impossible with current technology to remove such impurities

the cannabis industry in the US has stricter rules and allows fewer heavy metals than is allowed in the food we consume with more stringent testing being required by third party labs

lot of spices just like tobacco for example are grown in India where industry are able to pollute the soils more with less government oversight leading to fake vanilla extract which is done with green chemistry to be a cleaner product as is synthetic nicotine (this does not include Metatine which is not a synthetic but more a nicotine alternative replacement and is not safe or healthier)

heavy metals and pollutants in food is very much a ginormous issue with nothing being done except lowering the standards to match our current predicament just like we solve our other problems

agree about the natural levels in soil but that is not an issue as you stated but the concern is the high percentage that is allowed and is in there because of human activities

gotta keep lowering the bar so we stay ahead of the issues

(am in the industry too)

Had a family friend get this and have never forgot what was said

He said his ass was crusty and sored up with peeling skin and wiping sucked plus his hands were in the same shape along with his mouth and feet too

2025 is sucking really hard

If France can do it so can us here in the United States

Reads off like a preview of the United States in the very near future
