Blaming rising childhood obesity on climate change is next level absurd. How about the fact we have generated a lazy society with electronics and the cancellation of activities from nonsensical Covid policy?
Today’s children are 30% less aerobically fit than their parents were at their age, a new study found. The study points to climate change and rising temperatures adversely affecting childhood obesity, as children spend less time exercising outdoors.

Why would CDC say 5-11s "should" get a booster when there are no data on a booster's prevention of severe disease in this age group? My 3300 word investigation into the 12-17 booster, including a rare candid interview with an ACIP member, offers insight bariweiss.substack.com/p/why…

"REMOTE LEARNING WAS A FAILURE." “This will probably be the largest increase in educational inequity in a generation." "...school closures were a regressive policy, widening inequality by doing the most harm to groups that were already vulnerable." nytimes.com/2022/05/05/brief…

Gee - Who would have thought - Lucky Charms causes people to be sick!? 🤷🏼‍♀️Ingredients include: corn syrup, canola oil, sugar, yellow, red and blue dyes, gelatin, fructose, artificial flavors … this is not food. We should not be feeding our kids (or ourselves!) this. #LuckyCharms
