🔆Just gave this a listen. Helps to clarify -who monitors residues, -do #’s reported equate to safe/not safe, -why do people get different results depending on assay they used, & -credibility of work done by industry in a recent publication * onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

I’ve never seen anything like this. Yesterday we installed a displaced pet feeding station in Kramatorsk (with your support!). This morning, the Ukrainian dogs waited in line to eat. 🇺🇦🐕

Wow, we have to “… end our dependance on farming”. There have always been extreme opinions out there, but now there are massive main stream outlets tooting them,

Doctors and scientists aren’t drones. They understand how studies are carried out, read peer reviewed literature and then make their own conclusions. At the end of the day, it’s their own reputation not a company’s or a hospital’s. 🤓

Doctors are basically subcontractors for big pharma! Most of the “evidence based” medicine has been bought and paid for by pharma- Anyone see a problem here?

No question there are some issues with the industry/ medical community. However... Without the industry we'd still be licking willow bark for headaches, suturing with horse hair and dying of sepsis. Not everything is bad.

This is an awesome thread worth reading in response to a webinar that contained a lot of inaccurate rhetoric unfortunately to purposefully negatively impact farmer innovation which ultimately impacts food security.
