PFAS chemicals are “not exactly the special sauce” you want with your next burger order, writes @MLTellado, president and CEO of CR, calling for action to limit our exposure to these dangerous 'forever chemicals' in @CNN op-ed: cnn.com/2022/04/01/opinions/…

This is another reason we need a massive infrastructure overhaul. Our children are being poisoned by a decrepit and aging national water infrastructure system. @ConsumerReports consumerreports.org/water-qu…

As a nutrition & obesity scientist, reporters will ask me what is the one thing I would change to combat the obesity epidemic. My response is always the same: eliminate social inequity & poverty. Obesity is a complex & multifactorial disease, but often stems from social factors.

Imagine being someone who not only endangers others, but is sufficiently proud and self-righteous enough about doing so that you brag about it on social media as if you're awesome. Not linking directly as doing so would up Twitter's algorithmic impression of her. Vile.
It's easy for #COVIDー19 to overshadow everything, but the @ACLU is still working to protect us from other threats. Great piece by @JennesaCF

A7. There are some meat alternatives that are rich in protein, and that includes foods such as beans, peas, soy foods, peanuts and tree nuts, seafood, and eggs.
Plant-based meat products offer another good alternative and recent sales figures reflect that. #CRTwitterChat
Q7. Are there meat alternatives available?
Do products like @BeyondMeat and @ImpossibleFoods taste the same and provide the same nutritional value?

As CR's Charlotte Vallaeys notes: “What this pandemic has shown us is that we need a robust local and regional food system that connects farmers with consumers because it is able to be more resilient in times of crisis." #CRTwitterChat consumerreports.org/supply-d…

What kind of soap should you use in the midst of the #CoronavirusOutbreak?
As the novel #coronavirus spreads throughout the country, so does misinformation about the pandemic. CR investigative journalist @RachelPeachman answers a popular question.

When the history is written of how we responded to this threat, this graph will be featured prominently. ID clinicians, epidemiologists, scientists have called for more testing for weeks!
But ... water under the bridge. Time to move to next phase, which is aggressive mitigation.
