        I mean… It’s less nonsensical than the original food pyramid. The original one was based on bad science funded by food companies

        But a few years back they made that one with vertical slices that not only was a better application of the metaphor, it was backed by better understanding of nutrition. This is certainly a step backwards from that

        It’s like that with most of the MAHA stuff… There’s a grain of truth in a lot of it, but then you keep reading and you’re like wtf did I just read

          I hate how after years of pestering democrats to reclassify psychedelics and fund more medical research, suddenly it’s fucking maga repugs who are saying they’re gonna do it. The fucking party of nixon and reagan.

          I almost don’t want them to, because I don’t want there to be anything I have to begrudgingly agree with them on…

          Also whatever they do is likely to be botched anyway. And the attachment to their names will make the topic toxic in progressive spaces. I wonder if that’s their plan. To make it uncool.

          Fucking bastards.

            It just goes to show how shit establishment Democrats are. It’s like they’re allergic to hearing anyone who isn’t a soulless consultant

            I’ll take wins wherever we can get them, I don’t expect many to come from Republicans but every once in a while they do a good thing on accident

            And just imagine how much good can be done in a short time if fresh progressive candidates continue to win… There’s so many quick and easy things that could make life better if the people in power give a fuck
