In India it is mandatory to mention manufacturer's address and licence number on every food packaging. Was quite shocked to see this missing in EU foodscape

You heard it here first and second, gente.

Unless, of course, you heard it first on @nosubsplease.org—and if you didn’t hear it there first, what are you even doing with your life?

Re your enchilada episode, Brands should be illegal, I agree. My day job is co-man/pack.

IMO, At a minimum every food should have the address of its final manufacturer on it and if a component is more than half then that manufacturer’s address should be on there too.

High up in the tree canopy among long branches littered with rows upon rows of oval leaves, a bunch of white fuzzy clusters have formed, with sheer endless tiny pollen stems pointing outwards in every direction

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

Is this a good time to remind everyone (as the article covers at length) that there is effectively no regulation by the FDA or any other government body of any supplement? And that the definition of "supplement" is very, very wide?

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 14h

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

AAA estimates the average cost of owning a car is $12,297 a year, and recommends drivers spend no more than 10 percent of their income on car costs. This means you should make 120K to afford the average cost. Median *household* income in the US is $77K. The math just doesn't work.
