killing your kids to own the libs

Yeah, the schools at our local military base just got tested and none of the drinking fountains have safe levels of lead.

More like the government chooses not to.

So what's the play here, avoid things with cinnamon flavoring? Iirc that's how the lead was coming in the applesauce.

[-] witten@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Dude lead is in so many non-cinnamon things.

No longer? It didn't really prevent the last poisoning either.

I think detecting that something bad is happening, finding out how, and stopping it prevents other people from being affected. Otherwise contamination incidents could go on for years, and the cumulative exposure to affected individuals would be higher, and the number of individuals affected would also be higher.

Now they don't even have the personnel to do anything about it, assuming they find it this time at all.

Nor the one before that where the CDC itself argues that lead in kids was fine. That happened in Washington D.C. btw.

Good. I'll always have the upper hand, like when I'm 80 years old, working the future McDonald's.

Welp, glad I am in the EU.
