eating organic dont confer immunity from chemical contamination as many are shrink wrapped in plastic.
to be healthier reduce use of #plastic in your life,
esp when buying, making or storing food. oily products are at extreme risk when stored in plastic, but acidy foods like tomato sauce can actually disintegrate plastic, ending up on your plate.
shun processed and transfer food products sold in plastic to glass containers

Researchers estimate there are fewer than 70 reproductively active females remaining. The remaining females are producing fewer calves each year, which impacts the ability of the species to recover.

Loneliness is an epidemic, and the health risks are ‘profound,’ U.S. surgeon general warns
Isolation and loneliness are an epidemic as damaging to Americans’ individual and public health as smoking and obesity, the surgeon general of the United States said in a stark advisory issued Tuesday.
Nearly half of U.S. adults reported experiencing loneliness in recent years, according to research cited in the advisory.
science as industry
has no regard for planet
only for profit
processed, plastic packaged food is unhealthy, totally.
