    Obviously this purge will increase the background mortality rate in the USA by some fraction over the next decade, killing tens of thousands due to cancer and complications of malnutrition.

    But can we look on the lighter side? I have always claimed gummy bears are a nutritional meal, and there are fewer people to stop me from advertising that now

    In February, Dr. Hall said that N.I.H. officials told him he couldn’t be listed as an author on a yet-to-be-published scientific review on ultraprocessed foods that he co-wrote with a group of university scientists. This was because the review included language about “health equity” (it acknowledged that some people in the United States don’t have access to healthy food). This discussion may not have aligned with President Trump’s views on diversity, equity and inclusion.

    What was he censored about you ask? Must have been something really secret, otherwise it wouldn’t have been such a big deal, right? Right?

      I just can’t even comprehend the stupidity of all of this.

      Every single day, bombarded with one horrific, idiotic thing after another. It’s exhausting.
