Only wearing crop tops to help the little greenhouse in my belly
I want art of this now thanks
They want to unban gyphosphate so that CERTAIN countries dropping it on their neighbouring country’s fields doesn’t count as committing a warcrime.
Do you think they had a meeting to come up with this bullshit or all it took was a shower?
I think they all met in the shower. It was chaotic to say the least.
Awfully big words, for someone who doesn’t believe in germ theory.
holup, what? This guy is working on Victorian era medical knowledge? Is his idol Robert Liston??
Theodoric of York.
You know, medicine is not an exact science, but we are learning all the time. Why, just fifty years ago, they thought a disease like your daughter’s was caused by demonic possession or witchcraft. But nowadays we know that Isabelle is suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in her stomach.
It’s always gratifying to see another “old person” in the comments. 😃
I’m not old. I work out in my jeans.
Who would’ve predicted modern toxic bro culture leading to the resurfacing of miasma theory? But at this point I wouldn’t be surprised to hear him start talking about imbalances of black bile and phlegm.
Sorry i can’t keep track of every single retard with a microphone in the US, who is this guy, how did he afford a nice suit, and in what situation is he saying this? ( Im not going to ask what his alma mater is because whatever he got taught in the past it has nothing to do with what he is saying)
i think he’s the current secretary of health
One of the kennedys that became republican because he had a drug filled, worm filled life. the heroin/carcass eating likely permanantly damaged his brain. and its the only kennedy that dint have a severe medical condition, or die from a horrible event.
how did he afford a nice suit
Ooh I know that one ! It’s because of the “K” in RFK, which means “Kennedy”
You know he went to Harvard, no need to be coy
Is this RFKJ’s broken clock moment?
Or am I reading into this wrong? Cuz AFAIK glyphosate is in fact bad for the environment and the food chain including us.
No, he’s saying glyphosate is safe for animals.
Thank you. I tried re reading it in “gargling sand” voice but I still couldn’t figure out what he meant.
Is that really what he said? Lol
Bacteria is not in the kingdom plantae.
Funny that in Spanish it’s called “flora intestinal”, not “fauna intestinal”. Always though that it’s a but of a misnomer.
Intestinal flora is a common phrase in English, too. Or “gut flora”. It’s one of those old 19th century scientific phrases which has stuck around.
Like this, err, gentleman (who apparently wants to drag us back to that past) we used to believe gut bacteria to be plant-based. Science caught up, but the term has had sticking power. It seems to be a favorite of marketers of probiotic supplements.
“Microbiota” or just the straightforward “gut bacteria” would be more accurate and modern.
there is valid science in gut microbiome, the Pseudoscience take on is, the "leaky gut, or inflammatory diet bs.
Did he read/hear about gut flora somewhere, and get his eggs scrambled?
We also just call it “gut flora” in english too
Funny that you believe RFK Jr believes in bacteria. Dude doesn’t believe in germ theory
Well it’s only a theory has anyone actually met a germ?
Your stomach micro biome is plants.
That’s interesting. I wonder where the sunlight gets in to my stomach for all those plants to photosynthesize.
Drink Capri Sun and sunny d
Rfk seems to think the sun shines out his asshole.
He thinks so, but, no that’s just a mysterious emissive liquid that he drinks every morning.
“We all need sunshine”
That’s why your sick. You need to constantly be in the sun without sunscreen, look at RFK jr’s healthy glow as a good example of prime health.
If your not feeding your tummy plants with the sunlight it needs your not living healthy.
your sick
your not feeding
your not living
“You’re” means “you are”. “Your” means “belonging to you”.
“my sick?”
Thanks, I forget to proofread my comments
Vampires are about to start a protest.
hes overbaked from the tanning salon.
You eat it, duh!
Use the same covid UV lamp as was inserted in 2020.
That’s why you have to occasionally stick your arse in the air on a sunny day. Do it near a school or local park. You’ll be fine, if anyone asks tell them JFK said to.
Non organic plants at that
" it is unequivocal that exposure to glyphosate produces important alterations in the structure and function of the nervous system of humans, rodents, fish, and invertebrates."
Glyphosate has also been linked to gluten intolerance: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3945755/
Maybe at some point, all the “gluten free” products will switch to “glyphosate free”. Until then, I’ve been buying imported flour from Italy, where its use is significantly more regulated than here in the US, although not entirely banned.
So following this logic, am I a plant?
Who told you to say that‽
Who do you work for!?!
And this isn’t science!
Someone should.
Of course science is political. Knowledge is power and all power systems are political.
But ignoring philosophy, Science is a charity. By in large they must beg for their money. You don’t suppose that the people providing the money have any influence?
And I’m not talking about junk science, biased studies, or even fraud. A perfectly run study may still be political simply because it was chosen for funding over something else.
By in large
It’s a little more complex than that. Some things:

It’s a structural problem, but still the same problem plaguing the rest of society at the moment.
It looks like you all snuffed some TetraFunkoTetris
RFK has never been about science.
He was a paid antivax advocate, for money, now he’s a paid glyphosate advocate, again for money.
Science is only political because scientists have to continuously convince politicians reality exists.
It’s frustrating that something like climate change is even a political discussion at all. Don’t Look Up captured that frustration really well.
Convincing people your interpretation of reality exists is literally all that politics is.
Unfortunately, despite being correct, science is also an interpretation of reality.
Convincing people is war. Exerting power is politics.
I think we need politics to go beyond one reality, and embrace a subjective multiverse where people can perceive what they want to perceive.
If only the idiots could just piss off to their own multiverse of idiocy and leave the rest of us alone
I would be happy if I didn’t have to share a universe with realists, but the thing about realists is, they’re not happy to let that happen. They think there’s only one universe. They psychologically abuse our kind to try to get us back to their reality.
I have a friend named Sonic who’s an introject. He appeared in someone else’s head one day, having been assembled from thoughts about video games and comic books. He tried to get help from a psychologist with his mental health. Instead of helping him, she told him he doesn’t exist and tried to erase him. She messed him up so bad, he tried to commit suicide, tried to destroy the body he lives in and everyone else who lives in it, just to prove he could have an affect on the world, that he exists.
He’s doing a lot better now that he’s surrounded by antirealists and he isn’t seeing that psychologist anymore.
Chris Weston Chadler, is that you?
Are you trying to doxx Me?
Busted!
I want to be very clear here, it was my schizo meltdown, not Grail’s. And more properly, it was Sonic’s meltdown, and it probably ties into out dissociative symptoms more than whatever schizo-spectrum whatever we have going on.
TIL the multiverse instance has someone other than Grail. But, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s perfectly in line with yall’s belief that you all are actually personalities of one dude, who might not even exist anyway.
That’s called, Texas and also Florida we should let them secede.
Cool cool cool so the climate is pretty fucked and now the way people have lived for millennia will cease to be possible. But at least we were open minded about delusion.
Convincing people your interpretation of reality exists is literally all that politics is.
What? No. No, no, you naive fool… many politicians, if not most, don’t believe most of what they’re selling, and don’t give a flying fuck about it.
They’ll sell whatever line the party they’re working for wants them to sell, and they’d just as happily sell the opposition party’s line if it paid better and they could switch without being called a turncoat.
Also, it’s not about convincing people about specific beliefs; most people are mostly already convinced of their worldviews and if they change them it won’t be because of some politician. It’s about convincing them, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the politician shares those beliefs, and will impose them on people who don’t if they vote for them.
despite being correct, science is also an interpretation of reality.
Again, no. Science (except for mathematics, but that’s it’s own thing) doesn’t and shouldn’t ever claim to be correct.
It’s the most accurate approximation we have so far of how nature works, but it’s constantly trying to achieve better approximations, and will happily throw away the old ones when it finds a better one.
It also should always make very clear that it’s an approximation or a description, not an interpretation. Science should always be objective, never subjective, and interpretations are by definition subjective.
You can invent a vaccine, but getting people to take it is a different matter entirely and not just because of politicians.
Andrew Wakefield managed to fuck up people’s attitude towards vaccines quite well without politics.
Inserting things under people’s skin just freaks people out in general. There are so many reasons.
They also have to continually convince politicians and other politically minded people to give them money, and risk having it taken away if their results are politically inconvenient.

Whether climate change is occurring, what damage it’s doing and what’s causing it are scientific questions. How to address it is a set of political questions: How do we get humanity to emit less greenhouse gases? How do we get countries on the same page? How do we make sure that the effects of these changes don’t increase global inequality?
The scientific questions have been answered very well, and are continuing to be answered in more detail all the time.
The response to the political questions has been an abject failure so far.
As if denying millions of Americans access to proper healthcare wasn’t enough, they appointed an anti-science, anti-vaxx idiot as if to make sure even more harm would be inflicted on them.
Any scientists want to weigh in here? It’s a theory I’ve heard that does sound plausible even though it’s coming from this moron’s mouth.
I believe what he was trying to get at is that the shikimate pathway that glyphosate inhibits is also used in the bacteria and fungi that make up the gut microbiome.
Not sure what his overall point was supposed to be (or whether he had one) but that’s the “microbiome is plants” part.
We are increasingly finding out that gut biome affects mood because the majority of serotonin and dopamine are produced in the gut. While I have to see any conclusive research, I would not be the least surprised to see a direct link between glycophosphate and depression discovered in the future.
I think it’s been posted here because it is funny, as the gut microbiome is in fact not “plants”
no nothing comes from his mouth is plausible, he isnt a scientist in epidemiology, or a biologist, he a pseudoscience quack.
Yes, yes, I get it. We all hate him.
Well since no one else wanted to weigh in I looked it up. It seems there’s some correlation in animals but nothing conclusive in humans yet. Glyphosate Exposure Found To Modulate Gut Microbiome Composition
That’s still quite the stretch to attribute celiac to roundup.
his worms command him to obfuscate.
RFK’s entire health policy is oriented around the false belief that all disease is the result of dietary choices, i.e. metabolic disorders that can be treated with supplements. The supplements market is unregulated and larger by far than the pharmacological market, but it doesn’t really get a slice of public health money.
RFK is trying very hard to make it possible for government dollars to subsidize pseudoscience health bullshit and the easiest way to do it is by promoting the idea that the cause of good health is diet and exercise and the cause of bad health is bad diet and no exercise. Which isn’t strictly wrong, but it is a way for him to crowbar in fascist ideas about people with hereditary diseases and the disabled and so on, while cashing in on that sweet unregulated supplement money
I’m just here to point out that your stomach microbiome consists of bacteria and fungi, which are not plants.
Yes and in that you are correct.
In the spirit of the comment we’re replying to - what direct evidence is there? I’ve mostly seen studies providing dubious or weak links between realistic dosages of Glyphosate and any animal harm. I legitimately want to learn more if I’m mistaken.
A good resource, but it’s indicating that it’s a probable carcinogen, not a known carcinogen. That means that evidence is limited and it’s in the same category as red meat.
Nah, that sentence is just total non-sense.
Plants are still “organic tissue”, the microbiome is mostly in the gut, not the stomach (the stomach is full of acid) and it does NOT consist of plants but of bacteria.
I was asking more of whether glyphosphate was responsible for some of the seeming uptake in gut disorders from wheat we see today.
